Apraclonidine may be useful in the diagnosis of Horner's syndrome. In Horner's syndrome, the sympathetic innervation to the pupillary dilator muscle is lost. The affected pupil is thus miotic and the pupillary dilator responds to denervation by increasing α 1 receptors. Apraclonidine is useful in this case due to its weak α 1-adrenergic ...
This pharmaceutical coding system divides drugs into different groups according to the organ or system on which they act, their therapeutic intent or nature, and the drug's chemical characteristics. Different brands share the same code if they have the same active substance and indications.
Generally, drugs outlined within the ATC code N04 should be included in this category. Please see WP:PHARM:CAT for more information. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Antiparkinsonian agents .
ATC code S03 Ophthalmological and otological preparations is a therapeutic subgroup of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, a system of alphanumeric codes developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the classification of drugs and other medical products. [1] [2] [3] Subgroup S03 is part of the anatomical group S ...
ATC code N04 Anti-parkinson drugs is a therapeutic subgroup of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, a system of alphanumeric codes developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the classification of drugs and other medical products.

The template does not at the current time include summary information about the drug class itself. Instead, it contains a consistent interface to other sources that provide information about the drug class. Don't worry about trying to fill in all the fields – even if you can only get one or two, that still can be useful.
In several major drug classification systems, these four types of classifications are organized into a hierarchy. [4] For example, fibrates are a chemical class of drugs (amphipathic carboxylic acids) that share the same mechanism of action ( PPAR agonist ), the same mode of action (reducing blood triglyceride levels), and are used to prevent ...
The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) is a system to differentiate drugs on the basis of their solubility and permeability. [1] This system restricts the prediction using the parameters solubility and intestinal permeability. The solubility classification is based on a United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) aperture.
