Trihexyphenidyl, commonly known by its generic name ARTANE, is a medication primarily used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors, stiffness, and muscle spasms. It belongs to the class of anticholinergic drugs, which work by blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that can cause these symptoms when present in excess. ARTANE is also prescribed for the management of extrapyramidal symptoms, a side effect of certain antipsychotic medications. This 5MG tablet is designed for oral administration and is typically taken as directed by a healthcare professional. Always consult your doctor before starting or adjusting the dosage of this medication.
