CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Benztropine mesylate injection, USP 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.
