Uses
Benztropine mesylate is used for the adjunctive treatment of all forms of parkinsonian syndrome including the postencephalitic, idiopathic, and arteriosclerotic types. Benztropine is also used for the relief of parkinsonian signs and symptoms of antipsychotic agent-induced (e.g., phenothiazines) extrapyramidal reactions except tardive dyskinesia. Benztropine may be used alone or in conjunction with other antiparkinsonian drugs. Geriatric patients who do not tolerate cerebral-stimulating agents may respond to benztropine.
