- Anticholinergic agents for chronic asthma in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2004
Anticholinergic agents such as ipratropium bromide are sometimes used in the treatment of chronic asthma. They effect bronchodilation and have also been used in combination with ß2 -agonists in the management of chronic asthma. - Anticholinergic bronchodilators versus beta2‐sympathomimetic agents for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2003

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Aug-2022
Medications with anticholinergic properties are commonly prescribed to older adults with a pre-existing diagnosis of dementia or cognitive impairment. The cumulative anticholinergic effect of all the medications a person takes is referred to as the antich - Anticholinergic drugs for wheeze in children under the age of two years
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jul-2005
Wheeze in infancy and early childhood is common and appears to be increasing though the magnitude of any increase is unclear. Most wheezing episodes in infancy are precipitated by respiratory viral infections. Treatment of very young children with wheeze - Anticholinergic drugs versus non‐drug active therapies for non‐neurogenic overactive bladder syndrome in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Overactive bladder syndrome is defined as urgency with or without urgency incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia. Pharmacotherapy with anticholinergic drugs is often the first line medical therapy, either alone or as an adjunct to various non-p - Anticholinergic drugs versus other medications for overactive bladder syndrome in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Oct-2007
Overactive bladder syndrome is defined as "urgency with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia". It is a common condition with significant economic and quality of life implications. While the condition's pathophysiology remains - Anticholinergic drugs versus placebo for overactive bladder syndrome in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
Around 16% of adults have symptoms of overactive bladder (urgency with frequency and/or urge incontinence). The prevalence increases with age. Anticholinergic drugs are commonly used to treat this condition. - Anticholinergic medication for antipsychotic‐induced tardive dyskinesia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2018
Antipsychotic (neuroleptic) medication is used extensively to treat people with serious mental illnesses. However, it is associated with a wide range of adverse effects, including movement disorders. Because of this, many people treated with antipsychotic - Anticholinergic medication for non-clozapine neuroleptic-induced hypersalivation in people with schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Oct-2013
Treatment of schizophrenia depends heavily on neuroleptic drugs. Hypersalivation is a common side effect when people with schizophrenia are treated with neuroleptic drugs. Hypersalivation can be an embarrassing and stigmatising problem, can affect quality - Anticholinergic therapy for acute asthma in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Feb-2012
Inhaled anticholinergics as single agent bronchodilators (or in combination with beta2-agonists) are one of the several medications available for the treatment of acute asthma in children. - Anticholinergic therapy for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2001
Anticholinergic agents block bronchoconstriction mediated by the vagus nerve and may also dry up bronchial secretions. They are effective in obstructive airways disease and may be beneficial in bronchiectasis - Anticholinergic therapy for chronic asthma in children over two years of age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2003
In the intrinsic system of controlling airway calibre, the cholinergic (muscarinic) sympathetic nervous system has an important role. Anticholinergic, anti muscarinic bronchodilators such as ipratropium bromide are frequently used in the management of chi - Anticholinergics combined with alpha‐blockers for treating lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic obstruction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2021
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) represent one of the most common clinical complaints in men. Alpha-blockers are widely used as first-line therapy for men with LUTS secondary to BPO, but up to one third of men - Anticholinergics for neuroleptic‐induced acute akathisia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
Neuroleptic-induced akathisia is one of the most common and distressing early-onset adverse effects of first generation 'typical' antipsychotic drugs. It is associated with poor compliance with treatment, and thus, ultimately, with an increased risk of re - Anticholinergics for prolonged non‐specific cough in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2003
Non-specific cough is defined as non-productive cough in the absence of identifiable respiratory disease or known aetiology. It is commonly seen in paediatric practice. These children are treated with a variety of therapies including inhaled anti-choliner - Anticholinergics for symptomatic management of Parkinson´s disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2002
Anticholinergics were the first drugs available for the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson´s disease and they are still widely used today, both as monotherapy and as part of combination regimes. They are commonly believed to be associated with a less favo - Anticholinergics for urinary symptoms in multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jun-2015
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the commonest physically disabling chronic neurological disease affecting young people.
