1. Adjunct therapy for Parkinsonism
   Effective in managing muscle rigidity, tremor, excessive salivation, and drooling in idiopathic and post-encephalitic Parkinson’s disease, often used alongside levodopa. 

   Controls drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)

2. Useful in reducing EPS caused by antipsychotics such as phenothiazines, thioxanthenes, and butyrophenones. 

3. Low starting dose with titration flexibility
   Begin at 1 mg daily; increase by 2 mg every 3–5 days to reach 6–10 mg in divided doses, individualized based on response and tolerance. 

4. Flexible dosing around meals
   Administer before or after meals depending on patient’s tolerance; helps mitigate dry mouth or drooling. 

5. Well-established safety profile
   Common side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, and urinary retention. Rare risks include confusion, hallucinations, tachycardia, and decreased sweating leading to hyperthermia in hot climates. 

6. Avoid abrupt withdrawal
   Sudden discontinuation may trigger neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) — taper gradually to prevent hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, and autonomic instability.
