How should I take trihexyphenidyl?
Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).
Your doctor will tell you whether you should take trihexyphenidyl before or after a meal.
Take the medicine with food if it upsets your stomach.
If trihexyphenidyl causes your mouth to feel dry, you may need to take it before meals.
You may also use mints, chewing gum, or water if you have a very dry mouth or you feel very thirsty.
The pressure inside your eyes will need to be checked while you are taking trihexyphenidyl.
You should not stop using trihexyphenidyl suddenly. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Do not freeze.
