Trihexyphenidyl 2mg tablets should be swallowed whole with water. Begin with a low dose and gradually increase it as directed by your doctor. Typical starting doses range from 1 to 2 mg daily, taken once or twice daily. Your doctor will adjust your dosage based on your individual response and tolerance. The maximum recommended daily dose is usually 12 mg, divided into multiple doses.
Adjusting Your Dosage
Your doctor will closely monitor your progress and may increase your dose gradually, typically by 2 mg every 3-5 days. Don’t adjust your medication dosage yourself. Report any side effects to your doctor immediately. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, contact your healthcare provider.
Special Considerations
Dosage adjustments may be necessary for older adults or those with liver or kidney impairment. Children’s doses are generally lower and must be determined by a physician. Always inform your doctor of all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.
