What Is Anticholinergic Medication?

Описание: What's anticholinergic medication? How do I know what's anticholinergic? Well, we have a list - The Beer's list of medications. The nerve cells use choline to talk to each other, and when you have something anticholinergic, like a lot of the bladder pills, they often give women bladder pills for incontinence as they get older.

The anticholinergic medications make it so the nerve cells don't talk to each other as well and they can make people more confused and more agitated. And so you want to make sure that you've taken away those medications.

If this is the first time you watch my videos, I am Dr Liz and I am a board-certified geriatric specialist. Over the years I have worked with thousands of families from all over the country to help elders through the aging process. Families are typically in crisis and don’t know where to turn when loved ones have dementia, Alzheimer’s, medication problems, or any complications from aging. I feel we must take away medications that “zombify” our elders and adjust meds to get our loved ones back to the happy, productive people they once were. Do you have questions or concerns? Don’t panic. Dr Liz Geriatrics is your resource for everything and anything you need to know about aging. I am so glad you stopped by and remember we are here to help.
