Trihexyphenidyl

Composition

Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic medication primarily used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders caused by certain medications. It works by blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle movements, thereby helping to reduce stiffness, tremors, and muscle control issues.

Indications

Indicated for the management of Parkinson’s disease symptoms, such as rigidity, tremors, and spasms. It is also used to control side effects (extrapyramidal symptoms) caused by antipsychotic medications.

Side effects

Common side effects may include dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, and drowsiness. These side effects are typically mild but consult your doctor if they persist or worsen. Severe side effects may include confusion, hallucinations, or difficulty urinating, which require immediate medical attention.

Precautions

Before taking Trihexyphenidyl, inform your doctor if you have glaucoma, kidney or liver problems, high blood pressure, or a history of drug allergies. Use caution while driving or operating machinery as it may cause drowsiness or blurred vision. Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication.

Contraindications

Not recommended for individuals with narrow-angle glaucoma, urinary retention, or severe liver or kidney issues. Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to anticholinergic drugs.

Dosage and administration

Take as directed by the physician, usually starting with a low dose and gradually increasing as tolerated.

Countries

Available in select regions, including North America, Europe, and parts of Asia and LATAM.
