Description
Artane Tablet 2mg contains Trihexyphenidyl, also known as Benzhexol, which is an anticholinergic medication used primarily to treat symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms such as muscle stiffness, tremors, and involuntary movements.
It belongs to the class of anticholinergic agents. The medication works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that affects muscle control, thereby helping to restore the balance between acetylcholine and dopamine in the brain.
Artane is available in tablet form, with the 2mg strength commonly prescribed for symptom management.
Dosage is personalized by healthcare providers based on the patient’s condition and response. Typically, treatment begins with a low dose that is gradually increased. The total daily dose is often divided into multiple doses throughout the day.
Common side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and difficulty urinating. It is contraindicated in patients with glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, severe gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcerative colitis, or known hypersensitivity to the drug.
Patients should use this medication under medical supervision and report any side effects or unusual symptoms to their healthcare provider.
