BEXOL DT 2MG TABLET 100'S

How BEXOL DT 2MG TABLET 100'S Works

• BEXOL DT 2MG TABLET contains Biperiden, an anticholinergic medication, primarily used to manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Parkinson's disease is characterized by a deficiency of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for smooth, coordinated movements, in the brain. This deficiency leads to an imbalance with another neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, resulting in motor symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and slow movement (bradykinesia).
• Biperiden works by blocking the action of acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine is involved in various bodily functions, including muscle control. By reducing the effects of acetylcholine, Biperiden helps to restore the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine, alleviating motor symptoms. Specifically, it reduces tremors by inhibiting the overactivity of cholinergic neurons in the basal ganglia, a region of the brain responsible for motor control. This inhibition helps to decrease muscle stiffness and improve motor coordination.
• In the context of drug-induced EPS, many antipsychotic medications can cause EPS as a side effect. These symptoms arise because these drugs often block dopamine receptors, leading to a relative excess of acetylcholine activity. Biperiden helps to counter this effect by reducing the influence of acetylcholine, thereby lessening the severity of EPS such as dystonia (sustained muscle contractions), akathisia (restlessness), and parkinsonism (symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease).
• BEXOL DT is formulated as a 'Dispersible Tablet' (DT) which means it disintegrates rapidly in water before administration. This makes it easier to swallow and ensures faster absorption of the medication into the bloodstream, leading to quicker relief from symptoms. The rapid absorption is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing acute motor symptoms, where timely intervention is crucial. This formulation is also advantageous for individuals who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets, enhancing medication adherence and improving treatment outcomes. Always take BEXOL DT exactly as prescribed by your physician, and consult with them if you have any questions or concerns regarding its use.
