AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
AKINETON (biperiden lactate) is an anticholinergic agent administered via injection used to treat extrapyramidal side effects induced by antipsychotic medications. It works by blocking cholinergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system to counteract dopamine-blocking effects. This is an adjunctive therapy for managing acute dystonia, akathisia, and parkinsonism in psychiatric patients.
