Cold medicines contain alpha-adrenergic agonist to help with congestion and atropine as an anticholinergic to deter abuse. Anticholinergics give you dry mouth, urinary retention, constipation when levels are above normal as in abuse. An example would be lomotil, which has diphenoxylate and atropine. Atropine is only used as a method to keep people from abusing the drug.
