Active ingredient: Carbacholine

Brand Name: Carbachol

Drug class: Cholinomimetic

Mechanism of Action:

Carbachol (Carbacholine) is a cholinergic agonist that mimics the action of acetylcholine by stimulating both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. It is primarily used in ophthalmology to reduce intraocular pressure.

Effect on fertility biomarkers

Carbachol increases glandular secretions, which may lead to increased production of mucus in various tissues. Although there is no direct evidence, this mechanism suggests that Carbachol could potentially increase cervical mucus production as well.
