Article Synopsis
- Anticholinergic properties are key in managing mental health conditions but can lead to adverse effects, including cognitive deficits and physical symptoms like dry mouth and constipation.
- Anticholinergic drugs, often mistakenly categorized, mainly act as antagonists to the parasympathetic nervous system; particularly common in certain antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants.
- Various anticholinergic burden scales have emerged to assess side effects, with three main scales (ADS, ARS, ACB) widely used in clinical practice, highlighting the need for awareness of these effects in treatment, especially in elderly patients and those on multiple medications.
