    Biperiden (C)

    Uploaded by

    Mae Ann Bueno Castillon
    This document summarizes information about the drug Biperiden. It is an anticholinergic drug used to treat parkinsonism and extrapyramidal disorders caused by phenothiazine therapy. It works by blocking cholinergic activity in the central nervous system to help normalize the hypothesized imbalance of cholinergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission in the basal ganglia. Common side effects include blurred vision, dry mouth, urinary retention, and orthostatic hypotension. Nurses should monitor for these side effects and give the drug with food and caution in hot weather due to interference with sweating.
