Risperidone 2mg + Trihexyphenidyl 2mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Risperidone 2mg + Trihexyphenidyl 2mg tablets combine treatment for schizophrenia with relief of certain antipsychotic-related movement symptoms. The combination is used when psychotic symptoms coexist with drug-induced stiffness, tremor or slowed movement.

How to use

Swallow with water at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food; taking it after a meal may ease nausea. Keep the tablet-taking schedule consistent, and avoid abrupt withdrawal because psychiatric and movement symptoms can worsen.

How it works

Risperidone blocks dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors to reduce psychotic symptoms. Trihexyphenidyl reduces muscarinic acetylcholine activity, helping restore the movement-related balance between acetylcholine and dopamine.

Side effects

Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision and difficulty passing urine may occur. Increased appetite, weight gain, raised prolactin and new movement symptoms are also possible. High fever, severe muscle rigidity or confusion requires urgent care.

Important information

Tell your doctor about narrow-angle glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, urinary retention or bowel obstruction. Avoid alcohol and driving when drowsy or vision is blurred.
