anticholinergic cognitive burden scale

Which Medications Have Anticholinergic Properties?

Several types of medications have anticholinergic properties, including:
- Antidepressants (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline)
- Antipsychotics (e.g., clozapine, olanzapine)
- Antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine)
- Bladder antimuscarinics (e.g., oxybutynin, tolterodine)
- Muscle relaxants (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, orphenadrine)
Each of these drugs can contribute to the overall anticholinergic burden, and their use should be carefully monitored, especially in individuals who are already at risk for cognitive impairment.
