About Hexilent Tablet
Hexilent Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called anti-spasmodic agents used as an adjunct to treat Parkinson’s disease and extrapyramidal symptoms (drug-induced movement disorders). Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder in which the first signs are problems with movements.
Hexilent Tablet contains ‘Trihexyphenidyl’ which works by relaxing the muscles and nerve impulses that control muscle functioning. Besides this, Hexilent Tablet also balances chemical messengers called neurotransmitters in the brain; thereby improving muscle control and reducing stiffness, thereby helps the muscles move naturally.
In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, weakness, headache, dry mouth, decreased urination, drowsiness, and feeling nervous or restless. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side-effects persist or worsen.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Hexilent Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, do not drive unless you are alert. Hexilent Tablet should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Hexilent Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your medicines and health condition to rule out any side-effects.
