Bexol Tablet contains trihexyphenidyl (2 mg) which works on the body in the following ways:

• Anticholinergic Action: Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic medication that inhibits acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Acetylcholine plays a role in regulating muscle contraction and movement in your body.

• Reduction of Overactive Nerve Signals: By blocking acetylcholine, trihexyphenidyl effectively reduces overactivity of nerve signals that cause muscle stiffness, spasms, and tremors in Parkinson's disease and medicine-induced movement disorders.

• Improved Muscle Control: The reduction of nerve signal overactivity helps relax muscles and improves muscle control. This restoration of normal purposeful movements contributes significantly to managing Parkinson's disease and medicine-induced extrapyramidal symptoms.

• Store Bexol Tablet in a dry, dark place to protect it from light and moisture exposure.
