Thioridazine + Trifluoperazine + Trihexyphenidyl

Uses

Trihexyphenidyl, Thioridazine, and Trifluoperazine are used in the treatment of schizophrenia.

How it Works

How Trihexyphenidyl, Thioridazine, and Trifluoperazine Work Trihexyphenidyl, Thioridazine, and Trifluoperazine is a combination of three medications: Trihexyphenidyl, Thioridazine, and Trifluoperazine. Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic that acts on the nervous system to correct some of the chemical imbalances that cause Parkinson's disease and certain side effects associated with antipsychotic treatment. Thioridazine is a typical antipsychotic that works by blocking the action of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that influences thoughts and mood. Trifluoperazine is also a typical antipsychotic, functioning similarly by blocking dopamine's action in the brain, thereby affecting thoughts and mood.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Trihexyphenidyl, Thioridazine, and Trifluoperazine include nausea, constipation, dry mouth, sedation, weight gain, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats), orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure upon standing), urinary retention, increased prolactin levels in the blood, dizziness, blurred vision, and nervousness.
