AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
AKINETON (biperiden lactate) is an anticholinergic agent administered by injection for the treatment of extrapyramidal side effects, particularly drug-induced parkinsonism and acute dystonia associated with antipsychotic medications. It works by blocking cholinergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system to counteract dopamine-blocking effects of antipsychotics. This product represents a legacy injectable intervention in psychiatric supportive care.
