| Description |
Trihexyphenidyl is a centrally acting muscarinic antagonist used for treatment of parkinsonism and drug-induced extrapyramidal disorders.[L31773,L31778] Its discovery was published in 1949 in a study looking for drugs with antispasmodic activity.[A229103] Trihexyphenidyl is rarely used in the treatment of parkinsonism, and is not a first line treatment due to significant adverse effects.[L31843] It has largely been replaced by drugs such as [levodopa].[L31843]
Trihexyphenidyl was granted FDA approval on 13 May 1949.[L31768] |
