Hexidyl Tablets 2mg

Hexidyl Tablets 2mg is a tablet made by Zafa Pharmaceutical Labortories Ltd that contains Trihexyphenidyl 2mg, an anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) medicine. It is used for drug-induced movement disorders and Parkinson's symptoms. Pack size: 100 tablets.

Uses of Hexidyl Tablets 2mg

Hexidyl Tablets 2mg is used to relieve stiffness, tremor, muscle spasms and restlessness caused by antipsychotic medicines. It is also sometimes used for tremor and rigidity in Parkinson’s disease, although other medicines are usually preferred. It does not help tardive dyskinesia, the slow writhing movements that can follow long-term antipsychotic use.

How Hexidyl Tablets 2mg works

Trihexyphenidyl blocks the action of acetylcholine in the brain. In Parkinson’s disease and with antipsychotics, dopamine activity is reduced, leaving acetylcholine relatively overactive; blocking it helps restore the balance and eases stiffness and tremor.
