Benztropine (
Cogentin) is a
drug used to treat
muscle-rigidity, restlessness, and stiffness. It is sometimes used, along with
antipsychotics, in treating
schizophrenia. It is believed that the risk of
tardive dyskinesia[?], which exists as a side-effect of various antipsychotics, can be reduced with the use of benztropine.
Usage of benztropine can result in a lack of concentration.
