I need desspitly to know what classification benztropine is under, thanks!

1. Benzotropine is an Anti cholingeric, if I am not mistaken. -Anonymous (IP logged obviously)

[edit] Another mnemonic

I didn't want to add this myself in case it's too crude, but my pharmacology professor taught us this: "Can't see, can't pee, can't spit, can't s***, and tachycardia." That describes the symptoms of blurred vision, decreased urinary output, dry mouth, constipation, and of course a fast heartbeat. Kat, Queen of Typos 01:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Is anticholergenic something different or just a gross misspelling of Anticholinergic? A google search for the former returns some results but all seem like they really want the latter? Can anyone that knows better shed some light? - Taxman ^Talk 21:35, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

1. In reply to your question, I should assume that the two are different because I wasnt aware that Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) was an Anticholinergic drug. The reason I involve Benadryl is because the first result of a google search on Cholergenic returns http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20031021/msgs/271639.html. - Xer0X 12:35, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

2. I believe answer 1 is in error. Benadryl is an anticholinergic, anticholergenic is a misspelling of anticholinergic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.125.162.83 (talk • contribs).

I agree with 2. And I was wondering why antihistamines (H1 receptor antagonists) aren't listed in this article. But I'm not sure if all of them are anticholinergics, or only some. Diphenhydramine and dimenhydrinate are, at least, but the antihistamine article doesn't seem to be very clear on this. --Galaxiaad 09:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
