Drug-induced arrhythmia worsened by anticholinergics' side effect of tachycardia. Parkinson's disease, e.g. levodopa. Atropine decreases the absorption of levodopa. Preventing travel sickness, relieve stomach cramps or spasms, e.g. hyoscine. Additive effect. Nausea and vomiting, e.g. cyclizine. Additive effect.
Doxylamine is also a potent anticholinergic, meaning that it causes delirum at high doses—i.e., at much higher doses than recommended. [8] (Specifically it is an antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M 1 through M 5.) These sedative and deliriant effects have in some cases led to using the drug recreationally.

Clemastine is an antihistamine with anticholinergic and sedative effects. Antihistamines competitively bind to histamine receptor sites, thus reducing the neurotransmitter's effects. [9] Effects of histamine (which are countered by antihistamines) include: Increased capillary permeability; Increased capillary dilatation; Edema (i.e., swelling ...
Scopolamine, also known as hyoscine, [9] or Devil's Breath, [10] is a natural or synthetically produced tropane alkaloid and anticholinergic drug that is used as a medication to treat motion sickness [11] and postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Scopolamine, an anticholinergic drug, was used to block cholinergic activity in young adults and induce memory impairments similar to those present in the elderly. The memory impairments were reversed when treated with physostigmine , a cholinergic agonist.
The most prominent side effects are dizziness and sleepiness. [41] Diphenhydramine is a potent anticholinergic agent and potential deliriant in higher doses. This activity is responsible for the side effects of dry mouth and throat, increased heart rate, pupil dilation, urinary retention, constipation, and, at high doses, hallucinations or ...
