ECITANE TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called anti-spasmodic agents. ECITANE TABLET is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and extrapyramidal symptoms (drug-induced movement disorders). ECITANE TABLET exerts a direct inhibitory effect upon the parasympathetic nervous system. It works by relaxing the muscles and nerve impulses that control muscle functioning. ECITANE TABLET improves muscle control and reduces stiffness, thereby helps the muscles move naturally. ECITANE TABLET is used as an adjuvant therapy along with levodopa to treat Parkinson's disease. Additionally, ECITANE TABLET is used to control drug-induced movement disorders caused by CNS drugs such as dibenzoxazepines, thioxanthenes, phenothiazines, and butyrophenones.
