About Dine 2.5mg Tablet

PROCYCLIDINE belongs to a group of medicines called anti-spasmodic agents used as an adjunct to treat Parkinson’s disease and extrapyramidal symptoms (drug-induced movement disorders). Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder in which the first signs are problems with movements. 
PROCYCLIDINE contains ‘Paliperidone’, which works by relaxing the muscles and nerve impulses that control muscle functioning. Besides this, PROCYCLIDINE also balances chemical messenger called neurotransmitter in our brain thereby improving muscle control and reducing stiffness, thereby helping the muscles move naturally. 
You can take PROCYCLIDINE with food to prevent stomach upset. Take PROCYCLIDINE as prescribed. You are advised to take PROCYCLIDINE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, weakness, headache, dry mouth, decreased urination, drowsiness, and feeling nervous or restless. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not discontinue PROCYCLIDINE on your own. Do not take PROCYCLIDINE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. PROCYCLIDINE may cause drowsiness and dizziness, do not drive unless you are alert. PROCYCLIDINE should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with PROCYCLIDINE as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your medicines and health condition and rule out any side effects.
