Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl)
What is Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl) used for? Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl) is prescribed to treat and manage symptoms associated with Parkinson`s disease. The medication operates by preventing unusual nerve impulses in the muscles to prevent symptoms associated with this condition including tremors, stiff movements, or difficulty walking. This action may also make it useful for treating involuntary or abnormal muscle movements caused by other medications. Your doctor may prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions. How should I use Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl)? Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl) is typically administered three to four times each day at a dosage of one tablet, but your particular instructions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, weight, current health, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full cup of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal or snack is suggested before use if you experience nausea. Avoid changing the form of the medication by splitting or crushing the tablets as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage. What are the side effects of Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl)? The use of Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl) may cause side effects in some patients including:
Serious side effects possibly requiring emergency medical attention are fever, flu symptoms, eye pain, severe anxiety, hallucinations, faintness, or signs of an allergic reaction including hives, skin rashes, swelling, or trouble breathing. Contact your doctor as soon as any unusual symptoms occur to make sure the necessary alterations are made to your application frequency or dosage to stop more complications from occurring. Please Note Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl) should not be administered to patients who are young children, fructose intolerant, lactose intolerant, allergic to trihexyphenidyl, who have had a bad reaction to similar treatments in the past, or who have tardive dyskinesia.

Strictly use Bexol (Trihexyphenidyl) as prescribed and follow all instructions provided by your doctor. Safe, suitable, and optimum dosage can vary and is dependent on the patient`s health and medical history, as well as the condition you are treating.
