∙ 15y agoAn anticholinergic drug is a drug that blocks acetylcholine receptors, resulting in side effects such as decreased GI motility (constipation), decreased sweating, urinary retention, dry eyes, dry mouth, & dilated pupils &/or blurred vision. Examples of anticholinergic drugs include: Cogentin (benztropine): Anti-Parkinson drug as well as a medication to reduce the extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotic medications. Atropine: Medication used to treat abnormal heart rates & arrhythmias. Also used as a preoperative medication. Atrovent (ipratropium): Bronchodiltor that is a derivative of atropine & is used for the prevention of an Asthma attack. Spiriva (tiotropium): Bronchodilator similar to Atrovent that is used for patients with emphysema & chronic bronchitis. The Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) have anticholinergic properties. Examples of TCAs include: Elavil (amitriptyline) Tofranil (imipramine) Anafranil (clomipramine) Hopefully this has helped!

What is cholinergic and anticholinergic?
Pharmacology is the study of drugs and their actions on the body. "Cholinergic" and "anticholinergic" are terms that refer to drugs that play a huge role in the part of the nervous system that regulates the "rest and digest" functions of the body. This part of the nervous system is the parasympathetic nervous system and the major transmitter that it uses is called acetylcholine, from whence the term "cholinergic" derives. A drug that binds and activates the acetylcholine receptor is called cholinergic, whereas a drug that blocks this receptor or blocks its downstream actions is called anticholinergic. A major nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system is the vagus nerve, the tenth cranial nerve (CN X). For this reason, cholinergic and anticholinergic drugs are commonly called vagomimetic (mimics the vagus nerve) and vagolytic (blocks vagus nerve activity), respectively. Cholinergic and anticholinergic pharmacology involves the drugs that work on the parasympathetic nervous system. These drugs are numerous and can treat a variety of diseases, from glaucoma to Alzheimer disease.
