Parkidrin 5mg Tablet (Procyclidine)

Procyclidine 5mg Tablet is widely used for treating neurological and medication-induced movement disorders, including:

• Parkinson’s disease
• Drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)
• Muscle stiffness and rigidity
• Tremors and involuntary movements
• Akathisia (restlessness caused by psychiatric medications)
• Dystonia (muscle spasms)

It is often prescribed alongside antipsychotic medications to counteract their side effects and improve patient comfort.

Procyclidine works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction and movement control.

In conditions like Parkinson’s disease, there is an imbalance between dopamine and acetylcholine. Procyclidine helps restore this balance by reducing acetylcholine activity, leading to improved muscle coordination.

This results in:

• Reduced tremors
• Decreased muscle stiffness
• Improved motor function
• Better control over involuntary movements

The medication acts on the central nervous system, making it effective in treating both disease-related and drug-induced movement disorders.
