{antimuscarinics} answer -b-diphenhyramine-[also in this group trihexphenydl and benzotrpine] "the tip off is the age and the gut is shut off + confusion" {I belive all are OTC's!}

kool buddy! yu got this one correct as ever  ! i'll just add a point here,
anti-histaminics, antidepressants [TCA's] and antipsychotics; all of these have atropine like side effects + some alpha blocking effects too.
and be careful guyz, constipation was mentioned in the context of side-effects not the indication for OTC's.
