Etybenzatropine

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Etybenzatropine (also known as Ethopropazine) is a anticholinergic drug that is primarily used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It is a synthetic compound that is derived from atropine, a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the deadly nightshade plant.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Etybenzatropine works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses in the body. By doing this, it helps to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty moving.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Etybenzatropine is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other conditions that are characterized by involuntary movements. It is also used to treat certain side effects of antipsychotic drugs, such as dystonia and akathisia.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medications, etybenzatropine can cause side effects. These may include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and difficulty urinating. In rare cases, it can cause serious side effects such as confusion, hallucinations, and severe allergic reactions.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

Etybenzatropine can interact with other medications, including other anticholinergic drugs, certain antipsychotic drugs, and certain drugs used to treat depression. It is important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking before starting treatment with etybenzatropine.
