Description
Artane Tablet 5mg contains Trihexyphenidyl, which is an anticholinergic medication used primarily to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and extrapyramidal symptoms caused by certain drugs.
The medication helps to reduce muscle stiffness, tremors, and spasms by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in muscle control.
Artane is classified as an anticholinergic agent.
It is commonly available in tablet form.
Dosage varies depending on the condition and patient response but typically starts low and is gradually increased. For Parkinson’s disease, the usual adult dose ranges from 1 mg to 15 mg per day, divided into multiple doses. It is important to follow the prescribing healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage.
Possible side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and difficulty urinating. It should not be used by patients with glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, severe ulcerative colitis, or a known hypersensitivity to the drug.
Patients should consult their healthcare provider before starting or stopping the medication and report any adverse effects experienced during treatment.
