How It works
PARKIN PLUS TABLET helps to treat and prevents the symptoms of schizophrenia with symptomatic control of Parkinson’s disease, where trifluoperazine blocks the action of a chemical messenger (dopamine) in the brain that affects thoughts and mood. Benzhexol acts by blocking a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) which helps to reduce muscle stiffness, sweating and the production of saliva thereby improving walking ability in people with Parkinson's disease.
