BENZTROPINE MESYLATE- BENZTROPINE MESYLATE TABLET MCKESSON CONTRACT PACKAGING ---------- BENZTROPINE MESYLATE TABLETS, USP RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Benztropine mesylate is a synthetic compound containing structural features found in atropine and diphenhydramine.

Its molecular formula is C H NO•CH O S, and its structural formula is: Benztropine mesylate is a crystalline white powder, very soluble in water, and has a molecular weight of 403.54.

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). CONTRAINDICATIONS Hypersensitivity to benztropine mesylate tablets or to any component of the tablets. Because of its atropine-like side effects, this drug is contraindicated in pediatric patients under three years of age, and should be used with caution in older pediatric patients. 21 25 4 3 WARNINGS Safe use in pregnancy has not been established.
