First let´s review the cholinergic innervation and the anticholinergic effects which are transmitted through it. Then let’s see which drugs have an anticholinergic effect. How would you respond to these claims below? (YES/NO)
The central nervous system has different types of muscarinic receptors than are in the peripheral nervous system. Therefore, the effects of anticholinergic drugs target either the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system.
Anticholinergic drugs are used e.g. as muscle relaxants and in treating COPD.
Among others, amitriptyline, quetiapine and hydroxyzine are strong anticholinergics.
Right.
Wrong.
