Heksi 2mg Tablet

Introduction

Heksi 2mg Tablet is prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors, muscle stiffness, spasms, and difficulties in controlling weak muscles.

Trihexyphenidyl/Benzhexol is an anticholinergic that seems to impact the parasympathetic nervous system by blocking outgoing signals directly. This action influences organs and structures controlled by this system, like salivary glands, eyes, and smooth muscles, even at lower doses.

It may also help in preventing or managing similar muscle-related issues such as extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) induced by older antipsychotic medications.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.

How it works

Trihexyphenidyl/Benzhexol is employed to alleviate symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease or drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions. As an anticholinergic, it rebalances neurotransmitters, reducing involuntary movements and muscle rigidity.

How to take

["Adhere to the prescribed dose and duration advised by your doctor\r","It can be administered with or without food\r","For ease of administration, it may be halved or crushed and mixed with liquid, suitable for oral intake or feeding tube delivery"]

Adverse drug effect

It may cause side effects like dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and dizziness. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen. To manage dry mouth, drink plenty of water, chew sugar-free gum, or use a saliva substitute. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you experience dizziness or blurred vision.
