generic Cogentin

Benztropine is prescribed to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease and to manage involuntary movements resulting from certain psychiatric medications, like antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine or haloperidol. This medication belongs to the anticholinergic class, which functions by blocking acetylcholine, a natural substance in the body. By doing so, it helps reduce muscle stiffness, excessive sweating, and saliva production, while also enhancing mobility in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, anticholinergics can relieve severe muscle spasms in the back, neck, and eyes, which can be side effects of psychiatric treatments. It also helps reduce muscle rigidity, known as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). However, Benztropine is ineffective for movement issues related to tardive dyskinesia and might worsen them. This drug is not recommended for children under the age of 3.

Benztropine Side Effects

While taking this medication, you might experience mild side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, flushing, nausea, nervousness, blurred vision, or dry mouth as your body adapts. These are generally not concerning and often resolve on their own. To help manage dizziness, rise slowly from sitting or lying down. For dry mouth, try sugarless candy, ice chips, gum, water, or saliva substitutes.

More serious side effects, though less common, require prompt attention. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience high fever, decreased sexual ability, severe stomach or abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, trouble urinating, or unusual weakness.

Seek immediate medical help for very severe side effects, such as chest pain, severe dizziness or fainting, irregular heartbeat, or any mental and mood changes like confusion or hallucinations. Eye pain, redness, or changes in vision should also be addressed quickly.

Though rare, allergic reactions can occur. If you notice symptoms like a rash, swelling (particularly of the face, tongue, or throat), or breathing difficulties, seek emergency medical attention.

While this list covers many potential side effects, it is not exhaustive. If you notice any other unusual symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.

Interactions

Certain substances can interact with this medication, such as potassium tablets or capsules and pramlintide. It's important to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you're using other products that may cause drowsiness. These include opioid painkillers or cough suppressants like codeine or hydrocodone, alcohol, marijuana, sleep or anxiety medications like Alprazolam, Lorazepam, or Zolpidem, muscle relaxers such as Carisoprodol or Cyclobenzaprine, and antihistamines like Cetirizine or diphenhydramine. Always check the labels on your medications, including those for allergies or cold symptoms, as they might contain ingredients that induce drowsiness. Consult with your pharmacist on how to use these products safely. Additionally, this medication could affect certain medical or lab tests, including brain scans for Parkinson's disease, potentially leading to inaccurate results. Ensure that your healthcare providers and lab personnel are aware that you are taking this medication.
Benztropine FAQs
Is benztropine a controlled substance?

Benztropine is not classified as a controlled substance. It is a prescription medication used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and side effects of certain psychiatric drugs.

Benztropine is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and to manage side effects of certain psychiatric medications, such as antipsychotics, that can cause movement disorders. It helps reduce symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and muscle spasms.

Benztropine is not classified as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act, so it does not fall under any drug schedule.

Benztropine is used in psychiatry primarily to manage the side effects of antipsychotic medications, particularly extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. It is also used to treat drug-induced parkinsonism.

Benztropine is often given with antipsychotics to help manage or prevent extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), which are side effects associated with the use of certain antipsychotic medications. These symptoms can include tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and acute dystonic reactions. Benztropine, an anticholinergic medication, helps to balance the neurotransmitters in the brain, thereby reducing these motor side effects.
