Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. 

This is benztropine, and you should take it as directed by your doctor, at the same time each day. 

Benztropine helps control movement problems from Parkinson's disease or other disorders. This can help you regain control of your daily activities. 

This medicine is well-tolerated, but some side effects can occur, like drowsiness. So don't do activities that require you to be alert, like driving, until you know how it affects you. Other side effects can occur, like dry mouth, nausea, weakness or constipation. These are normal if they are mild and should go away. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medicine, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist. 

Also, you may not sweat as easily as before, and you could become overheated. So, be careful in hot weather and try to stay cool. 

In rare cases, serious side effects can occur, so call your doctor right away if you notice any unusual changes to your body, like blurry vision, a rapid heartbeat, confusion, changes in mood or behavior, or problems urinating. You should also call if you notice muscle movements you can't control. 

To reduce side effects, ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines, even if they don't require a prescription. 

For best results, plan ahead for refills, and consider asking a friend or family member to help ensure it is working well for you.
