Answer:

decrease salivation, spasticity, and tremors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a nervous system disorder in which body movements starts slowing down. In early stages, involuntary movements like the shaking of a hand occur which is called tremors and it gets worse over time which includes symptoms like salivation, loss of automatic movements, spasticity, etc.

Anticholinergic drugs block the action neurotransmitter like acetylcholine which helps in transferring signals among different cells. It is used in the treatment of parkinsonism because it decreases and block involuntary muscle movement thereby decrease salivation, spasticity, and tremors.
