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, it s 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).
