What does it do?

Procyclidine hydrochloride is an anticholinergic medication that is used to regulate the imbalance of dopamine and acetylcholine in the central nervous system. It is primarily used to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders caused by medications.

This component inhibits the action of acetylcholine in the brain, restoring the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine. As a result, symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as tremors and rigidity, as well as drug-induced movement disorder symptoms, are reduced.
