PPT-Cholinergic Antagonists Cholinergic Antagonists

Cholinergic antagonist is a general term for agents that bind to cholinoceptors muscarinic or nicotinic and prevent the effects . 1. What is an alcohol antagonist?. An alcohol antagonist is a drug that specifically blocks the effects of alcohol. If you take an alcohol antagonist and then drink a bunch of alcohol, it should theoretically prevent you from getting drunk, or it should at least reduce your level of drunkenness..
