Propanolol	b1+2 ANTAG - (2Ps in the name) - used as an antihypertensive - like any b2 antagonists beware of bronchoconstrictive side effects, so don't use in asthmatics
Prazosin	alpha antagonist, antihypertensive - vasodilation, less TPR, etc. Another good property is that it reduces [LDL] and increases [HDL] slightly.
Labetolol	a1 and b1 ANTAG - for the B1 ANTAG remember not just action on heart, but also kindeys - less renin secretion, less AT2, less HTN, etc.
Physostigmine	yup a reversible anticholinesterase - good for long term glaucoma use - and also atropine poisoning
Pilocarpine	muscarinic AGONIST - causes contraction of ciliary muscle + sphincter, miosis and improved aqueous humour drainage, glaucoma treatment
Bethanecol	M3 Musc Agonist as you said, post op for bladder and gi emptying.
Hexamethonium	Nicotinic channel antagonist, first ever antihypertensive but no real clinical use anymore
Atropine	muscarinic ANTagonist in deadly nightshade. also used as anaesthetic premedication; inhibits parasymp effector organs and the sweat glands.
