A parasympatholytic agent is a substance or activity that reduces the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system.
The term parasympatholytic typically refers to the effect of a drug, although some poisons act to block the parasympathetic nervous system as well. Most drugs with parasympatholytic properties are anticholinergics.
