Procyclidine, sold under the brand name Kemadrin among others, is a medication used to treat parkinsonism and extrapyramidal symptoms due to antipsychotics. It improves tremors less than it improves rigidity. It is taken by mouth or by injection into a vein or muscle.

Common side effects include dry mouth, blurry vision, nausea, constipation, and lightheadedness. Other side effects may include a fast heart rate, low blood pressure, urinary retention, confusion, and glaucoma. Safety in pregnancy is unclear. It is an anticholinergic.

Procyclidine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1955. It is available as a generic medication. In the United Kingdom 100 tablets of 5 mg costs the NHS about £5 as of 2021. It is no longer commercially available in the United States as of 2008.
