Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Regrace Plus tablet is a combination medicine that contains Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl (Benzhexol Hydrochloride) as its active ingredient.
Risperidone works by decreasing the neurotransmission of chemical messengers in the brain, dopamine and serotonin, by inhibiting the activity of their respective receptors. An imbalance in these chemical messengers leads to symptoms of schizophrenia (such as delusions and hallucinations), mood disorders (mania), and disturbances in thought processes or behaviour.
Trihexyphenidyl (Benzhexol Hydrochloride) is an anticholinergic class of medicine that works by blocking acetylcholine. Trihexyphenidyl possesses smooth muscle-relaxing properties that help control extrapyramidal side effects (i.e. restlessness, involuntary muscle contraction, rigidity) of Risperidone.
