Usage

General Description

(-)-Benzhexol hydrochloride, also known as trihexyphenidyl, is a medication that belongs to the class of anticholinergic drugs. It is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and extrapyramidal side effects caused by certain medications. The chemical works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, thereby reducing tremors, muscle stiffness, and involuntary movements associated with these conditions. (-)-Benzhexol hydrochloride is usually taken orally, and its effects can last for several hours. Common side effects of the medication include dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation, and it may also have interactions with other drugs, so it should be used with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
