Role of p.r.n. antimuscarinic medication in the treatment of antipsychotic-induced extrapyramidal movement disorders
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
The antimuscarinic drugs procyclidine, orphenadrine, benzhexol and benztropine are used in psychiatric practice to alleviate the extrapyramidal effects of antipsychotic medication. These drugs may be prescribed on a regular, as-required or single-dose basis. They are usually taken by mouth, in tablet or liquid form, but for rapid onset of action procyclidine and benztropine can be given by intramuscular or intravenous injection.
