    Thank you for this info. My wife takes medication for incontinence which is a very strong anticholinergic. It is commonly used for women because it works.  I wonder how many gynecologists, urologists and geriatricians are aware of the relationship of anticholinergics, used for incontinence, and cognitive disorders. Women are very often treated for incontinence with oxybutaline (Ditropan). They live longer than men and also are more prone to Alzheimers, consequently, when they develop a cognitive disorder it is blamed on Alzheimers as doctors have no idea of the connection between some commonly used OTC drugs for hay fever or allergies and another problem that has no cure.

    Are the cognitive symptoms reversible???
