Which of the following is not an adverse effect of anticholinergics?

  1. Heart palpitations

  2. Increased mucus production

  3. Dry mouth or throat

  4. Coughing

The correct answer is: Increased mucus production

Anticholinergics are a class of medication that work by blocking the action of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is involved in various bodily functions including the regulation of saliva and mucus production. As a result, one can experience dry mouth or throat as an adverse effect. The other options, such as heart palpitations (A), coughing (D), and increased mucus production (B) are all potential adverse effects of anticholinergics.
