It is used to treat symptoms of stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control. It is used in combination with other medications for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Trihexyphenidyl is also used to treat severe muscle spasms and extrapyramidal signs that are caused by some psychiatric drugs like phenothiazines.
How are Benzhexol HCl Tablets used?
This medication is intended to be taken orally. Benzhexol HCl Tablets are best taken one hour prior to using an antacid and one to two hours before using antidiarrheals.
