Health "It Has Been Associated With An Increased Risk Of Developing Dementia" - Benadryl, Tylenol PM, and Advil PM

[The Helper]

Dr. Charles Puza, a New York–based physician, has recently shocked over a million people on TikTok by revealing that the continual use of anticholinergic medications — such as Benadryl, Tylenol PM, and Advil PM - can be linked to dementia.

He stitches his video with a woman who says she uses it as a sleep aid every night because one of the main side effects people experience with the use of diphenhydramine — which is the main ingredient used in Benadryl — is drowsiness.

In the video, Dr. Charles summarizes a study* that found that taking an anticholinergic drug long term was associated with higher dementia risk.

*The study, conducted in 2015, worked with participants ages 65 and older and measured cumulative exposure to anticholinergic drugs over 10 years. The study concluded that taking an anticholinergic for the equivalent of three years or more was associated with a 54% higher dementia risk than taking the same dose for three months or less.
