Benztropine mesylate is commonly used as an adjunctive treatment for Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. It helps alleviate symptoms by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is overactive in Parkinson's disease.
Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS):
It is also used to manage extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) caused by certain antipsychotic medications. EPS can include symptoms such as muscle stiffness, tremors, restlessness, and abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesia).
Tardive Dyskinesia:
Benztropine mesylate may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements of the face, tongue, or other body parts that can occur as a side effect of long-term use of antipsychotic medications.
Drug-Induced Parkinsonism:
It is used to treat drug-induced parkinsonism, a condition characterized by symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease that can be caused by certain medications, particularly antipsychotics.
Acute Dystonia:
Benztropine mesylate may be used to manage acute dystonia, a movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions, particularly of the head, neck, and face, that can occur as a side effect of antipsychotic medications.
Other Uses:
In some cases, benztropine mesylate may be used off-label for other conditions or symptoms as determined by a healthcare professional.
Bacteria Impacted by benztropine mesylate,(prescription) [Can cause cognitive issues]
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
Impact of benztropine mesylate,(prescription) [Can cause cognitive issues] on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups.
We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio: Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
