Antimuscarinic drugs reduce the symptoms of incontinence by reducing bladder muscle spasms. Antimuscarinic drugs indicated for the treatment of incontinence include trospium chloride (Sanctura ®) and oxybutynin (Oxytrol ®).
Also asked, are antimuscarinic and anticholinergic the same thing?
Anticholinergics are classified according to the receptors that are affected: Antimuscarinic agents operate on the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. The majority of anticholinergic drugs are antimuscarinics. Antinicotinic agents operate on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
It causes tachycardia by blocking vagal effects on the sinoatrial node. Acetylcholine hyperpolarizes the sinoatrial node, which is overcome by MRA and thus increases the heart rate. Tachycardia and stimulation of the vasomotor center causes an increase in blood pressure.
