There are several different types of anticholinergic drugs and potential uses for these medications vary greatly. For instance, the anticholinergics drugs primarily used in the treatment of allergies and asthma are ipratropium, atropine and glycopyrrolate. Others may be used to treat unrelated conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome or Parkinson’s disease. This class of medications includes:

Some anticholinergics are sometimes referred to as antispasmodics. While both anticholinergics and antispasmodics are chemically related, and some drugs actually belong to both families, antispasmodics are a more general drug type and not frequently associated with the treatment of respiratory problems.
