Profenamine (also known as ethopropazine) is a phenothiazine derivative with anticholinergic and antidyskinetic properties. It was primarily used for the management of Parkinson's disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms. Profenamine is not widely used and is largely obsolete or discontinued in most countries today.
