Description
Benzhexol (Artane) 5mg tablets are a medication used primarily to treat Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms, which are movement disorders caused by certain medications.
It belongs to the class of anticholinergic drugs.
The medication works by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain, helping to restore the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine, which reduces muscle stiffness, tremors, and movement difficulties.
Benzhexol is typically available in tablet form, with a common dosage of 1 to 2 tablets taken two to three times daily, but the dose may be adjusted according to the patient’s response and tolerance.
Common side effects may include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, confusion, and difficulty urinating.
It should be used with caution in elderly patients and those with certain conditions such as glaucoma, urinary retention, or heart problems. The medication should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
