Trospium and cognition in patients with late onset Alzheimer disease
Objectives: Cholinesterase inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and antimuscarinic agents for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence (UUI) may reduce the potential effect of each other in the patients with both diseases. Trospium has a relatively low lipophilicity and low CNS penetration, and galantamine, a cholinesterase inhibitors, has also allosterically modulates nicotinic […]
