How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Benztropine Mesylate). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Benztropine mesylate possesses both anticholinergic and antihistaminic effects, although only the former have been established as therapeutically significant in the management of parkinsonism.
In the isolated guinea pig ileum, the anticholinergic activity of this drug is about equal to that of atropine; however, when administered orally to unanesthetized cats, it is only about half as active as atropine.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Benztropine Mesylate). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Hypersensitivity to benztropine mesylate tablets.
- Because of its atropine-like side effects, this drug is contraindicated in pediatric patients under three years of age, and should be used with caution in older pediatric patients.
