How Chlordyl Tablet works
Chlordyl 100 mg/2 mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Chlorpromazine and Trihexyphenidyl. Chlorpromazine 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). Trihexyphenidyl is added to treat and prevent these side effects. |
