Risperidone + Trihexyphenidyl is a combination of two medicines: Risperidone + Trihexyphenidyl1 and Risperidone + Trihexyphenidyl2. Risperidone + Trihexyphenidyl1 is an atypical antipsychotic which works by balancing the levels of chemical messengers (dopamine and serotonin) to improve mood, thoughts, and behavior. Risperidone + Trihexyphenidyl2 is an anticholinergic which works on the nervous system and corrects some of the chemical imbalances that cause Parkinson's disease and certain side effects occurring during antipsychotic treatment.
