Working of Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl HCL Tablets
Risperidone: Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that works by blocking dopamine (D2) and serotonin (5-HT2A) receptors in the brain, and helps to improve abnormal thoughts, hallucinations, delusions, mood disturbances, and behavioural symptoms.
Trihexyphenidyl HCL: Trihexyphenidyl HCL is an anticholinergic medicine that helps to reduce drug-induced movement disorders by restoring the balance between acetylcholine and dopamine in the central nervous system. This medicine is commonly used to manage extrapyramidal side effects, which are associated with antipsychotic medications.
