Question 1

what anticholinergic makes you feel cold?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: The degree of affecting parasympathetic nerve function so to induce feeling cold by anticholinergics is dose-related. As to which on does more, I doubt if there has been a study to compare such potential effect. Despite so, watch and alert for potential adverse effects while taking any new medications; if suspected and severe, stop its use and contact the prescribing doc; if mild, keep watching &amp;.

Question 4

Question 5

what is the function of an anticholinergic for mental illness?

Accepted Answer

Several: Anticholinergics first were used in psychiatry for treating Parkinson's disorder, although other, more effective medicines have largely replaced them.  They are perhaps most commonly used to treat side effects of other medications, especially antipsychotics, which can cause parkinsonsian-like symptoms.  They also sometimes are used as calming agents in acute situations.

Question 6

what are anticholinergic drugs? and what are the function and side effects?

Accepted Answer

Anticholinergics: Anticholinergics are a class of medication that block muscarinic receptors in the body.  They are typically used to treat over active bladder, or oab.  Common side effects are dry mouth, dry eyes, flushing, urinary retention/difficulty passing urine, confusion (in the elderly, typically), and constipation.

Question 7

does propantheline make anticholinergics stronger? please, need some answers?

Accepted Answer

No: Propanetheline is an anticholinergic medication often used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. It is not designed to make other anticholinergics stronger and should not be taken in addition to another anticholinergic medication. This would be a duplication of therapy and could cause an increase in side effects such as urinary retention, constipation, and increased heart rate.

Question 8

the last time i took ulone was 4 days ago(anticholinergic side effects), i still have sensibility to light and my vision is snowy.

Accepted Answer

Ulone/chlophedianol: is an antitussive/cough suppressant.  It has local anesthetic and antihistamine properties, and may have anticholinergic effects at higher doses.  After 4 days, your side effect symptoms should be improving, and I hope they are.  If they continue more than another few days, up to a week, I would review the problem with your doctor. Stay well:)

Question 9

would giving someone with diarrhea an anticholinergic be ok?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would be ok, but only take medications as prescribed by your doctor.

Question 10

why do anticholinergic drugs lower your blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Less vascular tone: The anticholinergic drugs relax the tiny muscles in our arteries, relaxing the arteries and dropping the blood pressure.  They also effect the muscles in our eyes (blurry vision) and that control the ladder and rectum (difficulty with going #1 and #2).
