ROSPITRIL PLUS 3 10 TAB

About

ROSPITRIL PLUS 3 is a combination medication typically containing Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that works by modulating dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain, effectively managing symptoms of various psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It helps to reduce hallucinations, delusions, and stabilize mood.

Trihexyphenidyl, an anticholinergic agent, is included in this formulation to counteract the extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) often associated with antipsychotic medications like Risperidone. These side effects can include tremors, rigidity, and restlessness. By combining these two agents, ROSPITRIL PLUS 3 aims to provide comprehensive psychiatric symptom control while simultaneously mitigating common and distressing motor side effects, thereby improving patient tolerability and adherence to treatment.
