New Study Links Many Popular OTC Meds With Alzheimer’s by Joseph Mercola

"Many common over-the-counter drugs contain anticholinergic ingredients, including antihistamine medications sold under the brand names Benadryl and Chlor-Trimeton, sleep aids such as Tylenol PM, Aleve PM and Unisom, the motion sickness medication Dramamine and various cold medicines"

Research Highlights Risks of Anticholinergic Drugs
A June 2019 study[10] in JAMA that assessed the dementia risk associated with various anticholinergic drugs found the link was strongest for:

Antidepressants (tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine,[11] doxepine or amitriptyline have strong anticholinergic effects,

Antiparkinson’s drugs

Antipsychotics (such as clozapine,[13] chlorpromazine or olanzapine[14])

Bladder antimuscarinics (such as oxybutynin or tolterodine,[15] prescribed for overactive bladder)

Antiepileptic drugs (such as oxcarbazepine or carbamazepine[16])"
