claimThis could be attributed to a decline in the efficacy of ChE-Is treatment over time, and to the difficulty in treating specific patient categories such as older age groups, or patients with the concomitant presence of conditions such as bradycardia, bronchial asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to the treatment-associated adverse effects (,).
