Fluostigmine is a synthetic organophosphate compound and a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, related to physostigmine. It was historically investigated for its use in glaucoma management as a miotic agent in ophthalmology but is not currently approved for therapeutic use and is rarely used in clinical practice due to toxicity concerns.
No published pharmacokinetic data were found for fluostigmine in humans. The following parameters are estimated based on analogous acetylcholinesterase inhibitors used in ophthalmology, such as physostigmine and neostigmine.
