Living in a retirement village I come into contact with many people with Memory problems and others with Dementia or Alzheimer's. I am going to show our Matron this artice ad find out what percentage of these people are using anticholinergic drugs.
There is a well known connection between antcholenergics and short term cognitive problems but i have not read research about long term effects. Seems even our favcourite Benadryl is included.
Parkinsons affects the the neurotrasmitter acetycholine, i wonder what the effect of that is in all of this.
