Citando:
"Thousands of people who take a common bladder drug are at risk of developing dementia, experts warned last night.

Use of oxybutynin, recommended by the NHS as a primary medication for urinary incontinence, has risen by 31 per cent in five years.

The pills help stop the muscle spasms that cause overactive bladder syndrome, a problem experienced by six million in Britain."
(...)
"People who take the pills for more than three years were 54 per cent more likely to develop dementia within a decade, research suggests."
