-
Blurred vision
-
Dryness of mouth

Consumption
-
Constipation
Correct Answer(s)
A. Blurred vision
A. Dryness of mouth
A. ConstipationExplanation
Anti-cholinergic side effects refer to the symptoms caused by medications or substances that inhibit the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the nervous system. Blurred vision, dryness of mouth, and constipation are all common side effects of anti-cholinergic drugs. These drugs can affect the normal functioning of the eye muscles, leading to blurred vision. They can also reduce saliva production, causing dryness of the mouth, and affect the muscles in the digestive system, leading to constipation. Consumption, however, is not related to anti-cholinergic side effects and is not applicable in this context.Rate this question:
