Trihexyphenidyl

Uses

Trihexyphenidyl is used to treat Parkinson's disease and drug-induced abnormal movements.

How it Works

How Trihexyphenidyl works Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic medication that decreases the activity of the chemical messenger acetylcholine in the brain. This action improves muscle control and reduces stiffness in Parkinson's disease. Additionally, it alleviates movement disorders, such as restlessness, involuntary movements, or muscle spasms, caused by certain other medications.

Avoid wearing contact lenses and inform your doctor if dry eyes become bothersome.
It may cause dizziness and sleepiness.
Do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
Monitoring of intraocular pressure is required while taking this medicine, as an increase in eye pressure may lead to blurry vision.
Inform your doctor if you have glaucoma or experience difficulty passing urine.
