Delpark Syrup contains Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride, an anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) medication primarily used to manage symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced movement disorders. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances in the brain, helping to improve muscle control and coordination.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride
• Strength: 5 mg per 5 ml syrup

Indications

Delpark Syrup is prescribed for:

• Parkinson’s disease (relieves tremor, rigidity, and muscle stiffness)
• Drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (caused by antipsychotic medications)
• Movement disorders associated with neurological conditions

It helps reduce symptoms such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty in movement, allowing improved physical function.

Mechanism of Action

Trihexyphenidyl acts on the central nervous system by blocking cholinergic activity. This helps correct the imbalance between dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain, which is responsible for movement abnormalities in Parkinsonism.

Dosage and Administration

• Dosage should be individualized based on patient condition and response
• Usually taken orally 2–3 times daily with or after meals
• Initial doses are low and gradually increased under medical supervision
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose without consulting a doctor

Proper dose adjustment is important to minimize side effects and maximize therapeutic benefit.

Benefits

• Improves muscle control and coordination
• Reduces tremors and stiffness
• Helps manage side effects of certain psychiatric medications
