Trihexyphenidyl

Trihexyphenidyl is a medication primarily used to help manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. It works by blocking a specific type of receptor in the brain called acetylcholine, which helps to balance muscle activity and reduce involuntary movements like tremors, stiffness, and muscle cramps. While effective, it may cause side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, or dizziness. It’s typically prescribed by a healthcare provider and should be used as directed to safely improve movement control in affected individuals.
