What is benzropine?

Benzropine is a medication primarily used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and side effects from antipsychotic medications, particularly those related to extrapyramidal symptoms. It acts as an anticholinergic agent, helping to restore the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain. By blocking certain acetylcholine receptors, it alleviates muscle rigidity, tremors, and other movement disorders. Benzropine is often prescribed alongside other treatments to improve overall motor function and quality of life for patients with these conditions.
