Overview

Apo-Trihex 2mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Trihexyphenidyl 2mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Apo-Trihex 2mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Apo-Trihex 2mg Tablet exactly as prescribed, usually with or after food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water. If you are taking it several times a day, try to space the doses evenly and take them at the same times each day to keep symptom control consistent.

Dosage

Treatment with Apo-Trihex 2mg Tablet usually starts at a low dose, such as 1mg daily, which your doctor will gradually increase over several days to a total daily dose (commonly divided into 3-4 doses) that controls your symptoms with the fewest side effects. The exact dose is individualised based on your response and tolerance, so always follow your doctor’s instructions rather than adjusting the dose yourself.
