Benzatropine (also known as benztropine) is an anticholinergic and antihistaminic drug used primarily as an adjunct in the management of Parkinson's disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms. It blocks central muscarinic receptors and inhibits reuptake of dopamine. Benzatropine is approved and still used today for these indications.
