Uses and warnings
No boxed warning. Contraindicated with "hypersensitivity to benztropine mesylate tablets" and in children under three years of age. The label warns the drug "may impair mental and/or physical abilities required for performance of hazardous tasks, such as operating machinery or driving," and that combining it with phenothiazines or antidepressants raises risk of "paralytic ileus, hyperthermia and heat stroke." Anhidrosis and fatal hyperthermia are possible, especially in hot weather.
Indicated "for use as an adjunct in the therapy of all forms of parkinsonism" and "useful also in the control of extrapyramidal disorders" (except tardive dyskinesia) caused by neuroleptic drugs such as phenothiazines.
