General information
Kemadrin belongs to a class of medication called anticholinergics that work by blocking a certain natural substance (acetylcholine). This helps decrease muscle stiffness, sweating, and the production of saliva, and helps improve walking ability in people with Parkinson's disease. Kemadrin is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease or involuntary movements due to the side effects of certain psychiatric drugs (antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine or haloperidol).
Directions
Take Kemadrin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. For treatment of Parkinson's disease the recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg three times daily (after meals). Your doctor may increase your dose to 5 mg three times daily (after meals) or even four times daily (after meals and at bedtime). For treating extrapyramidal symptoms the recommended starting dosage is 2.5 mg three times daily (after meals). Your doctor will increase your dose as necessary. Most people do well with a dose of 10 mg to 20 mg total per day. Take each dose with a full glass of water. Take it at the same times each day.
