Kemadrin 5 mg

Kemadrin 5mg is prescribed to relieve unwanted movements due to the side effects of antipsychotic drugs such as chlorpromazine/haloperidol. It may also be given to treat the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. Procyclidine is the active ingredient which is categorized under the category anticholinergics, and it works by blocking the action of a natural substance called acetylcholine in the body. This provides relief from muscle stiffness, sweating, and improves walking ability in patients with Parkinson's disease. Anticholinergics are considered to treat muscle spasms of the back, neck, and eyes that sometimes result from the use of antipsychotic drugs. They are also helpful in decreasing muscle stiffness/rigidity.
