Lots of systems deteriorate in the aging body; sometimes in trying to fix one thing, you end up making another thing worse. For example, popular drugs for urinary incontinence may speed age-related memory loss, researchers said yesterday.
Prompted by anecdotal reports of patients having memory problems after going on a class of drugs that includes Pfizer’s Detrol LA, researchers looked at data from a long-term neurologic study. They were able to compare 679 people who took the drugs with 191 who did not. Over the course of several years, those who took the drugs lost their memory faster than those who did not. The drugs act on a class of chemicals used to transmit messages in the nervous system.
