1  Conceptual diagram of acetylcholine system and disease and drug effects.
 Conceptual diagram of acetylcholine system and disease and drug effects. Relative cholinergic excess in Parkinson’s disease may be corrected by using anticholinergic drugs, but the risks of causing confusion and aggravating Parkinson’s related cognitive impairment or dementia means that these drugs are less commonly prescribed today. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drugs, used to treat Alzheimer’s disease, have an opposite effect, and have tremor among the list of side effects.
