Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride is an anticholinergic medication primarily used to treat Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms. Available in both tablet (2 mg, 5 mg) and oral solution (2 mg/5 mL) forms, it helps reduce muscle stiffness, tremors, and spasms. Trihexyphenidyl works by restoring the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain. In the US, it is available under generic labels, while in the EU, both branded (Artane®, Parkinane®) and generic options are found. Commonly prescribed by neurologists, this medication improves mobility and daily function. Always use under medical supervision due to potential anticholinergic side effects.
