Procyclidine

Procyclidine Hydrochloride is an anti-muscarinic medication often prescribed for the management and treatment of Parkinsonian patients experiencing side effects from typical anti-Parkinson medication. It is also used to treat diseases that involve an overly active involuntary muscle condition, such as muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract resulting in abdominal cramping and pain. Procyclidine Hydrochloride works by blocking the muscle contractions triggered by acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for sending messages across nerve endings. This action subsequently reduces muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal area and alleviates Parkinsonian side effects such as shakiness, stiffness in the limbs, and the inability to move or walk well. Procyclidine Hydrochloride should be consumed following the doctor’s instructions, and for the duration of time advised in order to ensure maximum efficacy and minimal side effects. To ensure patient safety, the benefits of using Procyclidine Hydrochloride should always be assessed against the possible side effects when prescribing.
