Reversible cholinesterase inhibitors block the action of acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. By preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, these inhibitors enable parasympathetic stimulation for a finite period. This can lead to increased activation of the rest-and-digest response, leading to effects such as increased gastrointestinal motility and decreased heart rate.
