Orphenadrine (sold under many brand names)[1] is an anticholinergic drug of the ethanolamine antihistamine class; it is closely related to diphenhydramine. It is a muscle relaxant that is used to treat muscle pain and to help with motor control in Parkinson's disease, but has largely been superseded by newer drugs.[citation needed] It is considered a dirty drug due to its multiple mechanisms of action in different pathways.[citation needed] It was discovered and developed in the 1940s.
