Anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) antiparkinson agent used for parkinsonism and to control extrapyramidal reactions caused by neuroleptic drugs (except tardive dyskinesia). In psychiatric practice it is often used short term for drug-induced parkinsonism or acute dystonia, balancing symptomatic benefit against anticholinergic adverse effects (confusion, constipation, urinary retention).
