Bornaprine

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & 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.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Bornaprine is primarily used to treat Parkinson's disease. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medications, Bornaprine can cause side effects. Some of the most common side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and difficulty urinating. If these side effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before taking Bornaprine, tell your healthcare provider if you have any other medical conditions or if you are taking any other medications. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

Bornaprine may interact with other medications. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your healthcare provider can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
