Description
Kemadrin Uses and Indications:
Kemadrin (Procyclidine)
Kemadrin (procyclidine hydrochloride) is an anticholinergic/antispasmodic drug used to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease or involuntary movements due to the side effects of certain psychiatric drugs (antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine/haloperidol).
Anticholinergics can stop severe muscle spasms of the back, neck, and eyes that are sometimes caused by psychiatric drugs. It can also decrease other side effects such as muscle stiffness/rigidity (extrapyramidal signs-EPS). It is not helpful in treating movement problems caused by tardive dyskinesia and may worsen them.
You can buy procyclidine 5mg and procyclidine 2.5mg online from Canada Pharmacy.
Directions
The dosage of Kemadrin tablets for the treatment of Parkinson’s depends upon the age of the patient, the cause of the disease, and individual responsiveness.
