Bexol, which contains the active component Trihexyphenidyl, is classified as an anticholinergic medication. It functions by inhibiting certain natural compounds known as acetylcholine. This medication can be prescribed to alleviate involuntary movements or symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease that result from specific psychiatric medications. It helps to reduce muscle stiffness, sweating, muscle cramps, and slowed movements.
Bexol is typically administered orally 3 to 4 times a day or as instructed by a healthcare professional. It can be taken during meals with a full glass of water. Always consult a doctor for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment, as this will vary based on the individual's condition and their response to the medication. Do not stop taking Bexol without first discussing it with a doctor, even if symptoms improve, since suddenly halting treatment can lead to complications.
Users of Bexol might experience side effects such as: drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, upset stomach, blurred vision, difficulty urinating, and trouble breathing or swallowing. If side effects persist or worsen, contact a doctor immediately.
Seek immediate attention at the nearest emergency department if you experience an allergic reaction. Common symptoms of such a reaction include difficulty breathing or swallowing, chest tightness, swelling, skin rashes, and hives.
Bexol may not be appropriate for every patient. Always discuss with your healthcare provider before using Bexol if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning to conceive, taking any other medications (whether prescription or over-the-counter), using herbal products or supplements, or if you have any allergies or medical conditions.
The proper dosage and prescription typically depend on the individual and the condition being treated. Do not modify your dosage without your healthcare provider's consent. Bexol should only be used as directed and prescribed.
