Eriris 4T-MD tablet contains 4mg of Risperidone and 2mg of Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride in a mouth-dissolving tablet form. It is a prescription medicine that is used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, as advised by a doctor. Risperidone present in the tablet helps reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, false beliefs (delusions), aggression, and unusual thinking, whereas Trihexyphenidyl helps reduce muscle stiffness, tremors, rigidity, and uncontrolled movements that can occur as side effects of antipsychotic medicines.
Eriris 4T-MD tablet dissolves quickly on the tongue without water, which makes it easy to take, especially for people who have difficulty swallowing regular tablets.
Working of Risperidone 4 mg + Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride 2 mg Tablets
Eriris 4T-MD contains two medicines that work together to treat mental health symptoms and reduce treatment-related side effects.
- Risperidone helps balance important brain chemicals, mainly dopamine and serotonin. This helps reduce hallucinations, false beliefs (delusions), aggression, mood changes, and unusual thinking, while improving mood and behaviour.
- Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride helps reduce muscle stiffness, tremors, rigidity, and uncontrolled movements that can occur as side effects of antipsychotic medicines. It works by restoring the balance of certain chemicals in the brain.
Together, these medicines help to improve thinking, mood, and daily functioning while making antipsychotic treatment more comfortable and easier to continue.
