Abstract
Xanomeline-trospium chloride (cobenfy) is a muscarinic agonist used to treat hallucinations and psychotic illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia. It has been constructed for patients who are unable to tolerate dopamine-targeting therapies and a comparison is drawn against other similar drugs with variables like cost, mechanism of action, efficacy and contraindications taken into account. Specifically effective for schizophrenia, it is safer with fewer side effects and efficient with stronger success rates, offering pharmacists and physicians an alternative to mainstream antipsychotic drugs.
