Benzhexol Hydrochloride (Trihexyphenidyl) Tablets
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of essential neurological and psychiatric adjuncts. We provide high-purity Benzhexol Hydrochloride (Trihexyphenidyl) Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Movement Control” agent is a top export to mental health institutions, neurology clinics, and government pharmacies in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as a critical therapy for Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal side effects (EPS).
Product Overview
This formulation contains Benzhexol Hydrochloride (also known internationally as Trihexyphenidyl), a synthetic anticholinergic agent.
The “Tremor & Rigidity” Specialist:
- Mechanism: It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) in the central nervous system. This helps restore the delicate balance between dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain, which is disrupted in Parkinson’s disease.
- Parkinsonism: Effectively reduces muscle rigidity, tremors, and excessive salivation (sialorrhea) associated with all forms of Parkinsonism (post-encephalitic, arteriosclerotic, and idiopathic).
- Antipsychotic Adjunct: It is widely prescribed to control the severe movement disorders (Extrapyramidal Symptoms – EPS) caused by antipsychotic medications like Haloperidol or Fluphenazine.
- Mood Effect: Often noted to provide a mild mood-elevating effect, combating the depression frequently associated with Parkinsonism.

- Assay Precision: Trihexyphenidyl has a specific therapeutic window. Our quality control ensures strict assay limits (90-110%) to prevent sub-therapeutic dosing or anticholinergic toxicity.
- Hardness Control: Tablets are compressed to specific hardness ratings to ensure they do not crumble in bulk jars during transport while still disintegrating rapidly in the stomach.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for the treatment of:
- Parkinson’s Disease: As an adjunct to Levodopa or as monotherapy in mild cases to control tremor and rigidity.
- Drug-Induced EPS: Control of acute dystonia, akathisia, and Parkinsonism induced by neuroleptic drugs (antipsychotics).
- Spasticity: Occasionally used to control spastic disorders unrelated to Parkinson’s.
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Neurologist/Psychiatrist):
