Profenamine (Cat.No:I035038), also known as ethopropazine, is an anticholinergic medication used to treat Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in muscle control. Profenamine helps alleviate muscle stiffness, tremors, and other motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease and certain medication side effects.
