Anticholinergic has dry skin and decreased Bowel sounds. Sympathomimetic has wet skin and active bowel sounds.
Sympathomimetic drugs mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, while anticholinergic drugs block the action of the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in decreased secretions and relaxation of smooth muscle. Sympathomimetics typically work by stimulating adrenergic receptors, while anticholinergics work by blocking acetylcholine receptors.
A sympathomimetic drug mimics the physiological effects caused by the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Note the keyword : Mimic A sympatholytic drug oppses/ blocks the physiological effects caused by stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
Ativan is not technically an anticholinergic. However, it can have anticholinergic effects.
