Anticholinergic drugs are substances used to help reduce and block the effects of acetylcholine. They are mainly used for the treatment of stomach cramps, motion sickness and ulcers. Some anticholinergic drugs include:
Ipatropium Bromide
Oxitropium Bromide
Tiotropium
Glycopyrrolate
Cholinergic drugs are used for urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, glaucoma. Cholinergic drugs act like the neurotransmitter ACh (acetylcholine). Anti Cholinergic (also called Cholinergic blocking) drugs block the action of the ACh. Anti Cholinergic drugs are used foe pylorospasm & peptic ulcers, bladder overactivity, parkinson's disease
No, Wellbutrin (bupropion) is not an anti-cholinergic drug. It is primarily classified as an atypical antidepressant and is mainly used to treat depression and anxiety, as well as to aid in smoking cessation. Anti-cholinergic drugs block the action of acetylcholine in the brain and body, which is not the mechanism of action for Wellbutrin. Instead, Wellbutrin primarily affects the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine.
Patients who are taking muscle relaxants or drugs that act like or have an effect on the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (cholinergic or anti-cholinergic drugs) should tell the doctor since they will change the test results. The results will.

Miosis is constriction of the pupil of the eye. Drugs that causes miosis are: Opioids (depressants) such as codeine, fentanyl, morphine, heroin and methadone. An exception with the opioids is the drugs Demerol (meperidine), instead of constricting the pupils, it is a mydriatic narcotic, it dilates the pupils of the eyes. Antipsychotics, including haloperidol, thorazine, olanzapine, quetiapine. Cholinergic agents such as those used to treat Alzheimer's disease and nerve gases; cholinergic drugs such as pilocarpine, carbachol (Miostat) and neostigmine As an F.Y.I. Cholinergic agent poisoning/overdose can be treated with anti-cholinergic agents such as atropine and scopolamine. Some cancer chemotherapy drugs, including camptothecin derivatives. Mirtazapine, a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA) Pscychoactive compound, trazodone. Some MAO Inhibitors (MAOI), which are some antidepressant drugs such as selegiline, rasagiline, procarbazine, and many more.
No, acetaminophen is not classified as an anticholinergic. It is primarily an analgesic and antipyretic medication used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Anticholinergic drugs work by blocking the action of acetylcholine in the nervous system, which is not a mechanism of action associated with acetaminophen.
drugs are classified as anti biotics, anti coagulantes, anti helmentics, anti diuretics, anti hypertensives
For unknown reasons, Clozapine increases salivation (though it has mild anti-cholinergic effect).
anti sickness drugs start to help you not to be sick any more
Anti-bacterial gets rid of bacteria, anti-fungals get rid of fungus, and anti-parasitic gets rid of parasites.
Anti-pruritic drugs are anti-itch drugs. Common examples include antihistamines such as Benadryl, corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone cream, and local anesthetics such as benzocaine cream.
