General Information on Cogentin
Cogentin is used for treating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease such as muscle stiffness, excessive saliva, sweating, and difficulty moving about. Its generic name is Benztropine, and it belongs to the class of anticholinergics.
The drug is available in the form of an oral solution. It works by blocking acetylcholine in the body, which is responsible for causing such symptoms.
Cogentin can also be used for treating symptoms caused by certain drugs such as fluphenazine, chlorpromazine and perphenazine. It cannot be used for treating movement related problems caused due to tardive dyskinesia and is not appropriate for patients less than 3 years of age.
Side Effects of Cogentin
Dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, constipation, depression, memory problems, excitement, numbness in the fingers, double vision, nervousness, increased sensitivity to light, flushing, dry mouth, and blurred vision may commonly occur during Cogentin treatment. These are temporary side effects of the drug and subside as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, you should inform your doctor immediately if any of these symptoms worsen or persist.
Dry mouth can be easily relieved by sucking on ice chips or sugarless hard candies, chewing a sugarless gum, drinking water, or using saliva substitutes.
Some serious side effects associated with Cogentin include chest pain, high fever, extreme weakness, vision changes, difficulty urinating, painful swallowing, abdominal or stomach pain, decreased libido, confusion, decreased or stopped urination, hallucinations, dry and hot skin, heavy sweating, eye pain, excessive dry mouth that interferes with eating, swallowing and speech, mental or mood changes, fast, slow or irregular heartbeat, fainting or severe dizziness. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms. These may be signs of some serious underlying condition and need to be treated immediately.
Some patients may also develop an allergic reaction after using Cogentin. Symptoms of an allergy include breathing problems, hives, facial swelling or severe dizziness. Stop using the drug and seek medical help immediately if you have any of these symptoms.
Dosage of Cogentin
Each ml of Cogentin contains 1mg of Benztropine, and you may be recommended to take Cogentin 1 to 2ml per day. You may need to take it at bedtime if you are taking it only once a day, or 2 to 4 times a day with meals. Try to take Cogentin at almost the same time each day so that a constant level of the drug is maintained in your body.
If you are also taking an antacid containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium, take Cogentin at least one hour before the antacid. If you are taking an absorbent anti-diarrheal drug such as attapulqite, pectin, or kaolin along with Cogentin, you should maintain a gap of 1-2 hours between both of them.
Cogentin may take 2-3 days to show signs of improvement. Therefore, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor.
