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.

Benztropine mesylate tablets USP are indicated for use as an adjunct
in the therapy of all forms of
