Artane?

[dee212]

Can anyone give me some info about artane? My neuro wants me to try this, and I'm not sure what questions to ask before I decide. Thanks!

Artane (broflex) is the trade name of trihexyphenidel and is an anticholinergic drug. It is an older drug.

This downloadable booklet on drug treatment has a section on anticholinergics I hope you find some useful information in it.

My questions might include benefits to expect and any possible side effects (especially any effect on memory)

Best wishes
