BENZTROPINE MESYLATE- BENZTROPINE TABLET
CIPLA USA INC.
----------
BENZTROPINE MESYLATE TABLETS, USP
DESCRIPTION
Benztropine mesylate, USP is a synthetic compound containing
structural features found in atropine and
diphenhydramine.
It is a crystalline white powder, very soluble in water, designated as
3α-(Diphenylmethoxy)-1αH, 5αH-
tropane methanesulfonate, with the following structural formula:
C
H NO•CH O S MW 403.55
Each tablet, for oral administration, contains 0.5 mg, 1 mg or 2 mg of
benztropine mesylate USP.
Each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: lactose
anhydrous, micro-crystalline cellulose,
colloidal silicon dioxide, sodium starch glycolate and magnesium
stearate.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Benztropine mesylate possesses both anticholinergic and antihistaminic
effects, although only the
former have been established as therapeutically significant in the
management of parkinsonism.
In the isolated guinea pig ileum, the anticholinergic activity of this
drug is about equal to that of
atropine; however, when administered orally to unanesthetized cats, it
is only about half as active as
atropine.
In laboratory animals, its antihistaminic activity and duration of
action approach those of pyrilamine
maleate.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
For use as an adjunct in the therapy of all forms of parkinsonism.
Useful also in the control of extrapyramidal disorders (except tardive
dyskinesia – see
PRECAUTIONS) due to neuroleptic drugs (e.g., phenothiazines).
