Cogentin tablets are primarily used to treat symptoms of nervous system disorders resulting from Parkinson's disease, such as muscle stiffness, spasms, and difficulty moving. It is also used to alleviate the side effects resulting from some psychiatric medications, especially those that cause movement disorders such as involuntary spasms or muscle stiffness.
Cogentin works by inhibiting the excessive activity of certain chemicals in the brain, which helps improve motor control and reduce symptoms of muscle tension. However, it must be used under close medical supervision to avoid any potential side effects or complications.
