It blocks the action of acetylcholine in the brain, which helps to restore the balance of certain neurotransmitters, reducing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Trihexyphenidyl Hydrochloride is indicated for the treatment of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms.
