Trihexphenidyl

Could I ask members for their opinions/experiences on Trihexphenidyl, my wife is 83 and has had PD for over twelve years, during the last two years her tremor (both hands) has got very bad (intolerable) will this drug help or do the risks outweigh the potential benefits ?

Hi @AV,

I’m sure you’ll receive some advice from our community soon, however,if you’d like more information/advice on your wife’ s medication, you can always speak to one of our advisers about this via our helpline on 0808 800 0303 Monday-Friday: 9am-7pm, Saturday: 10am-2pm, or you can email [email protected]. Please note that our helpline is closed from 5-7pm every weekday this week.

We also have a lot of information on drug treatments on our website that you may find useful - https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/information-and-support/drug-treatments.
