Anticholinergics/Antispasmodics (Detrol, Ditropan)

Nurses Medications

Published

I have a quick question about anticholinergics & antispasmodics. Are those classifications used interchangeably? I'm a student and our professor listed Ditropan & Detrol as antispasmodics, and then listed Ditropan again as an anticholinergic. I know Ditropan and Detrol are both antispasmodics AND anticholinergics. My question is, is there a distinction between the two classifications? Why do those two meds fall under both classifications?
