Anticholinergics are a class of medication that hinders the neurotransmitter's activity acetylcholine in the mind and body.
This can prompt numerous symptoms, including tiredness, clogging, holding pee and dry mouth and eyes. 
The scientists, drove by Shelly Gray, an educator in the University of Washington School of Pharmacy in Seattle, reported their discoveries in JAMA Internal Medicine in January 2015.
Prof. Dim says:
"More established grown-ups ought to be mindful that numerous solutions - including some accessible without a remedy, for example, over-the-counter tranquilizers - have solid anticholinergic impacts."
Individuals ought not stop their treatment but rather converse with their medicinal services supplier
Prof. Dim urges individuals not to stop their treatment taking into account the discoveries of this study - they ought to converse with their medicinal services supplier, furthermore let them know about all their over-the-counter medication utilization.
"Medicinal services suppliers ought to consistently audit their more seasoned patients' medication regimens - including over-the-counter pharmaceuticals - to search for opportunities to utilize less anticholinergic solutions at lower measurements," she says.
In the event that suppliers need to endorse anticholinergics to their patients in light of the fact that they offer the best treatment, then "they ought to utilize the most minimal compelling dosage, screen the treatment frequently to guarantee it's working, and stop the treatment on the off chance that it's incapable," she includes.
In spite of the fact that the connection between raised danger of dementia and anticholinergics has been found some time recently, the new study utilizes more thorough techniques - including more than 7 years of postliminary - to build up the join's quality. By getting to drug store records, the analysts were likewise ready to incorporate non-solution utilization of anticholinergics in their information.
