💊 Anticholinergic vs Cholinergic Meds PART 2
⭐️Key things to know: →PNS= REST and DIGEST →Cholinergic ENHANCING acetylcholine, therefore STIMULATING the PNS Cholinergic Effects: → Memory enhancement → Pupil constriction → Increased secretions → Decreased HR → GI tract and bladder stimulation → Improved muscle tone Side Effects (SLUDGE): → Increased Secretions → Lacromination (tear production) → Urination → Diaphoresis (sweating) → GI distress → Emesis

💊 Anticholinergic vs Cholinergic Meds
Anticholinergics and Cholinergics are drug classes that either prevent or enhance the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. ⭐️Key things to know: →Acetylcholine plays a key role in the PNS →Anticholinergics BLOCK acetylcholine, therefore INHIBITING the PNS, leading to stimulation of the FIGHT or FLIGHT (SNS) response 🏃‍♂️Remember SNS= SURVIVAL MODE They can cause: →pupil dilation →increased HR →bronchodilation →bladder relaxation →decreased muscle rigidity Important to remember that in the situation of anticholinergic toxicity, PHYSOSTIGMINE is the antidote ✅ Let me know if you’d liek to see a part 2 for Cholinergics! 🩵
I tried my best to accomplish all that I could in my lifetime, but I'd say my main contribution is my theory centered around human needs and motivation. I named this theory "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs", rightfully so.
