POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults only: _Optimal dosage should always be determined empirically,
usually
by initiating therapy at a relatively low level and by subsequent
graduated
increments._ _
The usual dosage for Parkinsonism is
6 - 10 mg per day although some
patients chiefly in the post-encephalitic group may require an average
total
dose of 12 - 15 mg daily. It should be given orally either three or
four times a
day at mealtimes.
Normal dosage for drug-induced Parkinsonism is usually between 5 mg
and
15 mg per day, although some cases have been controlled by 1 mg daily.
In all cases, trihexyphenidyl dosage should be increased or decreased
only by
small increments over a period of several days. In initial therapy the
dose
should be 1mg the first day, 2mg the second day with further increases
of
2mg per day at three to five-day intervals until the optimum dose is
reached.
If patients are already being treated with other parasympathetic
inhibitors,
trihexyphenidyl should be substituted as part of the therapy. When
trihexyphenidyl is used concomitantly with levodopa the usual dose of
each
may need to be reduced. Careful adjustment is necessary, depending on
side
effects and the degree of symptom control. Trihexyphenidyl dosage of
3-6mg
daily in divided doses, is usually adequate.
Trihexyphenidyl may be taken before or after meals according to the
way the
patient reacts. If trihexyphenidyl tends to dry the mouth excessively,
it may
be better to take it before mea
