4 Objectives 1. Quick overview of acetylcholine (ACh) and anticholinergic 2. Understand there are different anticholinergic burden scales 3. Realize there are many medications that have anticholinergic activity 4. Describe consequences of the chronic use of medications that have anticholinergic activity
5 Definitions Acetylcholine: A human molecule that acts as a neurotransmitter that transfers signals between cells to affect how your body functions Has effects on brain, gastrointestinal system, bladder, lungs, muscles Anticholinergic: anything that inhibits the action of acetylcholine
6 Uses for anticholinergic (ACh) drugs Treat dizziness and motion sickness Anti-Parkinson s- decrease involuntary movement Treat diarrhea Treat overactive bladder Bronchodilators for COPD Pre-anesthetics-decrease mucous secretions, keep heartbeat normal, relax the patient
7 How many of you would take a medication that could easily cause Memory impairment Confusion Hallucinations Dry mouth Blurred vision Constipation Nausea Urinary retention Impaired sweating Tachycardia Sedation
8 8
9 Increased risks in older adults Age related changes in the brain -decreased acetylcholine Changes in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics Increased permeability of the blood brain barrier?does pharmacogenomics play a role? 9
10 Adverse effects of acute use anticholinergic medications Known Accentuated in older adults Confusion Dry mouth Blurred vision Constipation Urinary hesitancy Delirium Ability to communicate, predispose to malnutrition, mucosa damage (dentures), Saliva change (risk for infection) Acute angle glaucoma Falls Fecal impaction Urinary retention Impaired sweating Hyperthermia Tachycardia Sedation Angina Decreased function
11 11
12 Definition of anticholinergic (ACh) burden Additive effect of medications that contain some degree of anticholinergic activity, whether being used intentionally for that purpose, or as an unwanted side effect. Drugs can have low, medium, or high potency ACh effects
13 Measuring anticholinergic burden At least 7 different scales available and they are not all in concordance -use expert opinion -use serum levels -use published literature and data reviews They do ALL show varying concerns with long term cumulative use of these medications 13
14
15 Anticholinergic burden possible risks Risk of community acquired pneumonia 9 Cognitive decline 1, 4 Decreased executive function 4 Dementia 7 Increased brain atrophy 10 Increased health care utilization 2 Higher in someone with dementia 8 Higher in nursing home residents with coronary artery disease 11 Functional decline 6 Fractures in depressed nursing home patients 3 Increased mortality 4
16 Beers criteria Recommendations on drugs to avoid and drugs to use with caution Most medications with significant anticholinergic activity show up on Beers list List of alternatives also available Information available at : 16
17 Geriatric prescribing What symptom or disease are you treating? Do the risks outweigh the burdens? Are there nonpharmacologic ways to treat the problem? Discontinue medications that are no longer needed, or whose risks outweigh the benefits (deprescribe)
18 Non- pharmacologic treatments when appropriate Garfinkel D, Mangin D. Feasibility Study of a Systematic Approach for Discontinuation of Multiple Medications in Older AdultsAddressing Polypharmacy. Arch Intern Med. 2010;170(18): doi: /archinternmed
19 Summary Anticholinergic burden can be a subtle but dangerous situation for our patients Consider educating your patients about the potential adverse effects of anticholinergic medications Minimize medication usage when possible 19
