Neostigmine is a potent cholenergic which if given alone can cause a sever cholinergic crisis. the symptoms are usually described as SLUD BB M
Salivation
Lacrimation
Urination
Deification
Bradycardia
Bronchoconstriction
Miosis
If given with a anticholinergic like glycopyrolate, those actions are blocked and the only real action left is neostigmines' ability to block acetylcholinesterase which will allow acetylcholine to build up and allow muscles to work or
function better (stronger)

What does anticholinergic mean?
Anticholinergic refers to drugs or substances that block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the nervous system. They are commonly used to treat conditions like overactive bladder, Parkinson's disease, and motion sickness. However, anticholinergic medications can also have side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and confusion.
How is neostigmine chemically used to treat myasthenia gravis?
Neostigmine is a competitive irreversible inhibitor of Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine (ACh). Myasthenia gravis is caused by the body producing too little ACh receptors. As stimulating the ACh receptors is needed for nervous transmission, the nerve signals cannot be transmitted causing muscle weakness and fatigue. Neostigmine is hence used to inhibit AChE so that less ACh gets broken down. This leads to more ACh binding to the ACh receptors causing muscular contraction.
Anti cholinergic drugs?
