Warnings

For treatment of Parkinson's disease, the recommended dose of trihexyphenidyl starts with 1 mg the first day and then increases by 2 mg daily at intervals of 3 to 5 days until symptoms are controlled. The usual daily dose ranges from 6 mg to 10 mg daily depending on needs (taken in divided doses at mealtimes).

The dose needed for medication-induced symptoms varies widely according to the particular medication and dose that are causing the symptoms.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Trihexyphenidyl exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Trihexyphenidyl at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Trihexyphenidyl is available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Trihexyphenidyl may not be available in all of the forms listed here. The forms available for the specific brand you have searched are listed under "What form(s) does Trihexyphenidyl come in?"

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
