How it Works

How Chlordiazepoxide, Trifluoperazine, and Trihexyphenidyl Work Chlordiazepoxide, Trifluoperazine, and Trihexyphenidyl is a combination of three medications: Chlordiazepoxide, Trifluoperazine, and Trihexyphenidyl. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine (BZD) that increases the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. Trifluoperazine is a typical antipsychotic that works by blocking the action of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that influences thoughts and mood. Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic that acts on the nervous system to correct some of the chemical imbalances that cause Parkinson's disease.
