Composition

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, leading to improvement in symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. It also reduces extrapyramidal side effects caused by antipsychotic medications.
