How Shicalm Plus Products work
Trifluoperazine + Trihexyphenidyl is a combination of two medicines: Trifluoperazine + Trihexyphenidyl1 and Trifluoperazine + Trihexyphenidyl2. Trifluoperazine + Trihexyphenidyl1 is a typical antipsychotic. It works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger (dopamine) in the brain that affects thoughts and mood. However, it may cause side effects such as involuntary movements (shaking of hands, muscle spasms). Trifluoperazine + Trihexyphenidyl2 is added to treat and prevent these side effects.
