Anticholinergics are used to treat Parkinson disease, muscle rigidity, and muscle spasms caused by psychoactive medications. Anticholinergics work by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the brain and other tissues, reducing the effects of acetylcholine and restoring balance with dopamine. Some anticholinergics are also used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness and to treat asthma."}
