Trihexyphenidyl belongs to the family of medications called antiparkinsonians. It is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. It may also be used to reduce the shakiness and restlessness that can be caused by some tranquilizers. It acts on the nervous system and corrects some of the chemical imbalances that cause Parkinson's disease as well as the symptoms caused by some medications.
