Poisoning: other parasympatholytics [anticholinergics and antimuscarinics] and spasmolytics, not elsewhere classified - what does this mean
Poisoning from anticholinergics and antimuscarinics, not elsewhere classified, occurs when an individual is exposed to a toxic dose of medication or substance that causes parasympathetic nervous system inhibition, resulting in a variety of symptoms including dry mouth, blurred vision, confusion, and decreased heart rate.
What happens during the disease - poisoning: other parasympatholytics [anticholinergics and antimuscarinics] and spasmolytics, not elsewhere classified
Poisoning caused by these agents is due to their ability to block the action of acetylcholine at the muscarinic receptors in the body. this leads to a decrease in the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in decreased secretions, decreased smooth muscle contraction, and decreased heart rate. in severe cases, these agents can cause seizures, coma, and death.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Blood tests to measure levels of toxins
- Urine tests to detect the presence of toxins
- Imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans
- Endoscopy to examine the gastrointestinal tract
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure heart activity
- Liver function tests to measure the levels of enzymes in the liver
- Kidney function tests to measure the levels of enzymes in the kidneys
- Skin tests to detect any allergic reactions
- Electromyography (EMG) to measure muscle activity
- Neurological tests to assess nerve function
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the symptoms associated with poisoning caused by anticholinergics and antimuscarinics.
- Administering activated charcoal to reduce the absorption of toxins.
- Administering intravenous fluids to reduce dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
- Administering anticonvulsants to reduce seizures.
- Administering antidotes to reverse the effects of the toxins.
- Administering bronchodilators to reduce airway obstruction.
- Administering antihistamines to reduce inflammation and itching.
- Administering corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
- Administering laxatives to reduce constipation.
- Administering muscle relaxants to reduce muscle spasms.
- Administering oxygen therapy to improve oxygenation.
- Administering vasopressors to improve blood pressure.
- Administering diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
- Administering beta-blockers to reduce heart rate.
- Administering antacids to reduce stomach acid.
- Administering antibiotics to reduce infections.

Poisoning: other parasympatholytics [anticholinergics and antimuscarinics] and spasmolytics, not elsewhere classified - Prevention
The best way to prevent poisoning from parasympatholytics, anticholinergics, antimuscarinics, and spasmolytics is to avoid contact with these substances and to always read labels and directions carefully when using them. if contact is unavoidable, it is important to wear protective clothing and to use the substances according to the instructions provided.
