pro·cy·cli·dine hy·dro·chlo·ride (pro-siґklĭ-dēn) [USP] a synthetic anticholinergic with a direct antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle; used as an antidyskinetic in the treatment of parkinsonism and for the control of drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions (except tardive dyskinesia); administered orally. It is believed to act by partially blocking central cholinergic receptors, which helps balance cholinergic and dopaminergic activity in the basal ganglia.
