Abstract

Patients in New Milford, Connecticut routinely report frequent use of prescription and over-the-counter medications that carry anticholinergic properties. Several of these medications have anticholinergic effects as a side effect and not as the primary drug class. A pamphlet was created using simple language and large text to provide accessible patient education to the population in New Milford that is at risk for adverse effects of common drugs that carry anticholinergic burdens.
