Benztropine in the PMHNP Exam
Benztropine (Cogentin) is an anticholinergic medication used to treat extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) caused by antipsychotics. The PMHNP-BC exam frequently tests its role in managing drug-induced movement disorders, side effects, and contraindications.

1. Mechanism of Action
✅ Anticholinergic (blocks acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors).✅ Restores dopamine-acetylcholine balance in the nigrostriatal pathway.✅ Reduces rigidity, tremors, and dystonic reactions.
* Used primarily to manage EPS from antipsychotics.
* Does NOT treat tardive dyskinesia (TD).

2. Indications for Benztropine
Condition Mechanism Clinical Use
Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS) from Antipsychotics Blocks excess acetylcholine to counteract dopamine blockade First-line for acute dystonia, reduces parkinsonism symptoms
Drug-Induced Parkinsonism Balances dopamine-acetylcholine activity Reduces tremors, rigidity from antipsychotic use
Acute Dystonia (Severe muscle spasms from EPS) Relaxes muscle contractions Rapid IM/IV administration for acute cases
• Used as prophylaxis in high-risk patients starting FGAs or high-dose SGAs (e.g., Risperidone, Paliperidone).

3. Benztropine & Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS)
EPS Type Symptoms Treatment
Acute Dystonia Muscle spasms (neck, tongue, eyes), difficulty breathing Benztropine (IM/IV), Diphenhydramine (IM/IV)
Drug-Induced Parkinsonism Tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia Benztropine (oral)
Akathisia Restlessness, pacing, anxiety Propranolol, Lorazepam (NOT Benztropine)
Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) Involuntary facial & limb movements VMAT-2 inhibitors (Valbenazine, Deutetrabenazine); NOT Benztropine
🚨 Benztropine is NOT used for tardive dyskinesia (TD) and may worsen symptoms.
* First-line for acute dystonia (IM/IV) and drug-induced Parkinsonism (oral).
* Akathisia is best treated with Beta-blockers (Propranolol) or Benzodiazepines (Lorazepam).

4. Benztropine Side Effects & Contraindications
🚨 Common Side Effects (Anticholinergic Effects):
* Dry mouth
* Blurred vision
* Constipation
* Urinary retention
* Increased intraocular pressure (worsens glaucoma)
🚨 Serious Risks:
* Confusion, delirium (especially in elderly).
* Worsening of tardive dyskinesia.
* Heat intolerance (impaired sweating).
🚫 Contraindications:
* Elderly patients (increased delirium risk).
* Glaucoma (raises intraocular pressure).
* Urinary retention or BPH (worsens symptoms).
* Tardive dyskinesia (can worsen symptoms).
* Use with caution in elderly due to increased risk of falls and confusion.
* Avoid in patients with history of urinary retention or narrow-angle glaucoma.

5. PMHNP Exam Key Takeaways
* Benztropine = First-line for acute dystonia & drug-induced Parkinsonism.
* NOT used for akathisia (Propranolol preferred) or tardive dyskinesia (Valbenazine preferred).
* Common side effects = Dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, blurred vision.
* Avoid in elderly due to risk of confusion & falls.
* IM/IV for acute dystonia, oral for long-term EPS management.
* Contraindications: Glaucoma, BPH, tardive dyskinesia.
* Best prophylactic option for high-risk patients on FGAs or high-dose SGAs.

Does Benztropine Help Akathisia? In this informative video, we will discuss the role of Benztropine in managing akathisia, a common side effect of antipsychotic medications used to treat schizophrenia. Akathisia can cause significant discomfort due to an overwhelming sense of restlessness and an uncontrollable urge to move. Understanding the available treatment options is essential for those affected by this condition.

We will explore the mechanism of action of Benztropine as an anticholinergic medication and its use in addressing extrapyramidal symptoms resulting from antipsychotic medications. Additionally, we will examine the research surrounding Benztropine's effectiveness specifically for akathisia, highlighting both supportive and opposing findings.

Furthermore, we will discuss current clinical guidelines and expert opinions regarding the recommended treatments for akathisia, including safer and more effective alternatives. The video aims to provide clarity on the best approaches to managing akathisia, ensuring that individuals with schizophrenia receive appropriate care.

Today’s video is all about nursing interventions for Parkinson’s disease for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.

Parkinson's disease is a disorder characterized by the progressive death of neurons in the brain, resulting in low quantities of dopamine and high acetylcholine. Symptoms include involuntary movement disorders, disruption of basal nuclei (basal ganglia), and excess stimulation can affect movement and posture.

The main objective of taking Parkinson’s disease drugs is to increase dopamine and decrease acetylcholine. Watch to learn more!

Study this Benztropine, Trihexyphenidyl mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Benztropine and Trihexyphenidyl are drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease and drug-induced Parkinsonism. They work by functioning as anticholinergic medications. Specifically, anticholinergic drugs help improve tremor and rigidity seen in Parkison’s disease and drug-induced parkinsonism. Given their mechanism, it should also make sense that benztropine and trihexyphenidyl can cause anticholinergic symptoms.

Benztropine is a highly anticholinergic medication that is primarily used for movement disorders.






Antipsychotics can cause extrapyramidal adverse effects that can help be managed with benztropine.






Because benztropine is highly anticholinergic, it can cause dry eyes, dry mouth, urinary retention, constipation and contribute to falls and confusion, particularly in our elderly population.






While benztropine is classified as an anti-Parkinson’s agent, it is rarely used for that indication as it has a high incidence of anticholinergic adverse effects (particularly at the doses that are required for benefit).
