**4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS** Benzatropine Injection is recommended for all forms of parkinsonism - including arteriosclerotic, post-encephalitic, idiopathic, as well as drug-induced extrapyramidal disorders (except tardive dyskinesia). It can be effective at any stage of the disease, even when a patient has become bedridden. Benzatropine Injection often is helpful in patients who have become unresponsive to other agents. Benzatropine Injection is a powerful anticholinergic agent which is mainly effective in relieving tremor and rigidity. Therapy is directed toward control of disturbing symptoms to permit the patient maximum integration of function with minimum discomfort. In non-drug-induced parkinsonism, partial control of symptoms is usually achieved.
