DESCRIPTION
Uses
It is used to:
- Reduce muscle stiffness and improve muscle control in patients with Parkinson’s disease
- Manage drug-induced abnormal involuntary muscle movements (such as extreme restlessness or muscle spasms)
Works
PARKIN TABLET is an anticholinergic medicine with muscle relaxing properties. It reduces muscle stiffness and improves muscle control by reducing the activity of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine in the brain. It also regulates the release of a brain chemical called dopamine that regulates proper body movements and coordination. As a result, it reduces abnormal muscle movements associated with Parkinson’s disease and with the use of certain medicines.
