About this active substance
Biperiden is a medication primarily used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs called anticholinergics, which work by reducing excessive acetylcholine activity in the brain.
The medication is available in tablet or injectable form and is administered as directed by a doctor. The dosage is adjusted based on the patient's response and the severity of symptoms.
Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, and blurred vision. In rare cases, confusion, hallucinations, or difficulty urinating may occur, especially in elderly patients.
Biperiden is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Patients should inform their doctor about all medications they are taking, as biperiden may interact with other drugs, such as antidepressants or antipsychotics.
