CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Trihexyphenidyl is an antispasmodic drug which exerts a direct
inhibitory
effect on the parasympathetic nervous system. It also has a relaxing
effect on
smooth muscle.
It is indicated in all forms of Parkinsonism (postencephalitic,
arteriosclerotic
and idiopathic) .It is often useful as adjuvant therapy when treating
these
forms
of
Parkinsonism
with
levodopa.
Trihexyphenidyl
is
effective
in
reducing
the
rigidity
of
muscle
spasm,
tremor
and
excessive
salivation
associated with Parkinsonism. Trihexyphenidyl is also indicated to
control
extrapyramidal disorders (eg akathisia manifested by extreme
restlessness and
dyskinesia characterized by spastic contractions and involuntary
movements)
due to central nervous system drugs such as reserpine and the
phenothiazines.

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 be
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 increase
of 2mg
per da
