Bornaprine

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Bornaprine is a antiparkinson medication that is primarily used to treat Parkinson's disease. It is an anticholinergic drug that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. This helps to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty moving.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Bornaprine works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Acetylcholine is involved in many functions of the body including the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain. By blocking the action of acetylcholine, Bornaprine helps to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
