VPI-Benztropine

VPI-Benztropine is a synthetic compound resulting from the combination of the active portions of atropine and diphenhydramine. Benztropine possesses both anticholinergic and antihistaminic effects, although only the former have been established as therapeutically significant in the management of parkinsonism. Benztropine antagonizes the effect of acetylcholine. This decreases the imbalance between the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and dopamine, which may improve the symptoms of early Parkinson's disease.

VPI-Benztropine is recommended for all etiologic groups of parkinsonism - arteriosclerotic, postencephalitic, idiopathic and drug-induced. It can be effective at any stage of the disease, even when a patient has become bedridden. Often it is helpful in patients who have become unresponsive to other agents.
