Composition
Each 5 ml contains:
-
Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride 2 mg
Mechanism of Action
Trihexyphenidyl is a centrally acting anticholinergic agent that blocks muscarinic receptors in the central nervous system. In Parkinson’s disease, it helps restore the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine, improving motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and slowed movements. It also helps reduce extrapyramidal side effects caused by antipsychotic medications.
