Anticholinergics / antispasmodics 

What are Anticholinergics/antispasmodics?

Anticholinergics are a broad group of medicines that act on the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. They are also called antispasmodics.

By blocking the action of acetylcholine, anticholinergics prevent impulses from the parasympathetic nervous system from reaching smooth muscle and causing contractions, cramps or spasms. Anticholinergics are used in the treatment of some gastrointestinal and bladder conditions. They may also be used in the treatment of some respiratory or movement disorders.

Antispasmodics. The antispasmodics are cyclobenzaprine, metaxalone, methocarbamol, and carisoprodol. They are thought to reduce muscle spasms that can accompany acute MSK pain.

Doctors may also prescribe anticholinergics such as orphenadrine as muscle relaxants. These drugs can be useful during surgery to block neuromuscular reactions and stop saliva production. Flavoxate and oxybutynin are antispasmodic agents, which means they can help prevent vomiting.
