Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Parkinson's disease
  • Dosing Information
  • For treating PARKINSON'S DISEASE, an initial oral dose (tablet or elixir) of 1 milligram the first day followed by increases of 2 milligram increments at 3 to 5 day intervals to a total dose of 6 to 10 milligrams/day in 3 to 4 divided doses is recommended. Postencephalitic patients may require 12 to 15 milligrams/day.
  • It is recommended that trihexyphenidyl be taken in 3 divided doses at mealtime. If the total daily dose is greater than 10 milligrams/day it may be given in 4 divided doses (at mealtime and bedtime).
  • The recommended dose of trihexyphenidyl when used concomitantly with levodopa is 1 to 2 milligrams three times daily.
  • Sustained release capsules should not be used for initial therapy due to the high dosage per capsule. After patients are stabilized on conventional therapy they may be switched to the sustained release form on a milligram for milligram basis as a single dose or 2 divided doses 12 hours apart.
Parkinsonism due to drug
  • Dosing Information
  • For treating DRUG-INDUCED PARKINSONISM, five to 15 milligrams as a total daily dose is recommended to control extrapyramidal effects from phenothiazines, thioxanthenes and butyrophenones. It is recommended that therapy be initiated with a single 1-milligram dose. If the extrapyramidal manifestations are not controlled in a few hours, subsequent doses may be progressively increased until satisfactory control is achieved.
  • Satisfactory control may sometimes be more rapidly achieved by a temporary dose reduction of the tranquilizer when instituting trihexyphenidyl therapy and adjusting the dose of both drugs until the desired effect is obtained.
  • Sustained release capsules should not be used for initial therapy due to the high dosage per capsule. After patients are stabilized on conventional therapy they may be switched to the sustained release form on a milligram for milligram basis as a single dose or 2 divided doses 12 hours apart.
