Benztropine

Benztropine is a prescription drug that can help treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders (extrapyramidal symptoms) that are caused by antipsychotic medications. As an anticholinergic medication, it works by re-establishing the normal balance of certain chemicals within the nervous system. Benztropine comes in the form of a tablet or injection, and is typically taken one to four times daily. Common side effects include constipation, nausea, and blurred vision.
