• Managing Parkinson's Disease: Helps reduce muscle stiffness, improve muscle control and movement, and provide relief from tremors and spasms.
• Controlling Medicine-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms: Helps restore normal posture and voluntary muscle control in people experiencing involuntary movements, muscle spasms, and restlessness caused by certain antipsychotic medicines.

Here's how to take Bexol Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Do not crush, chew or break the tablet.

Bexol Tablet is taken orally.

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.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children for safety reasons.

• Remember to use Bexol Tablet before its expiry date.

• For those managing Parkinson's disease with Bexol Tablet, regular physical exercise like walking or swimming can help improve muscle strength and balance, assisting with your mobility.

• If you are taking Bexol Tablet for medicine-induced movement disorders, try avoiding alcohol as it may interact with your medicine and worsen your condition. Always consult your doctor for personalised advice.
