Bexol 2

Uses
Bexol 2 (Trihexyphenidyl) is an anticholinergic medication prescribed to help manage Parkinson's disease, and tension disorders brought about by anti-psychotic drugs like thioxanthenes, buthyropenones, dibenzoxazepines. It can be combined with other drugs such as Carpidopa-Levodopa medications which are commonly used to reducing Parkinson's symptoms. It works by controlling neurotransmitter in the brain which helps eliminate symptoms like mental inertia and depression.
