Hello,
The prescribed medications can be used in certain neurological/psychiatric disorders as given below:
1. Benztropine, an anticholindergic drug used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease or involuntary movements due to some other medical problems or the side effects of certain Antipsychotics drugs such as Chlorpromazine/Haloperidol.
2. Divalproex sodium, used to treat certain types of seizures (epilepsy), certain psychiatric conditions (manic phase of bipolar disorder), and to prevent migraine headaches.
