HERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Benzatropine Injection is recommended for all forms of parkinsonism -
including arteriosclerotic, post-encephalitic,
idiopathic, as well as drug-induced extrapyramidal disorders (except
tardive dyskinesia). It can be effective at any
stage of the disease, even when a patient has become bedridden.
Benzatropine Injection often is helpful in patients
who have become unresponsive to other agents. Benzatropine Injection
is a powerful anticholinergic agent which
is mainly effective in relieving tremor and rigidity. Therapy is
directed toward control of disturbing symptoms to
permit the patient maximum integration of function with minimum
discomfort.
In non-drug-induced parkinsonism, partial control of symptoms is
usually achieved.

and intramuscular use. Each millilitre of the
injection contains:
Benzatropine mesilate
1.0 mg

Because Benzatropine Injection is cumulative in action, therapy should
be initiated with a small dose which then
can be increased gradually at five- or six-day intervals. Increases in
dosage should be made in increments of 0.5
mg, to a maximum of 6 mg.
