TRINICALM FORTE TABLET

Uses and Benefits of TRINICALM FORTE TABLET (Chlorpromazine 50mg + Trifluoperazine 5mg + Benzhexol 2mg)

This medicine is used to treat psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, where a person may experience hallucinations, delusions, confused thinking, or agitation.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
• Severe anxiety and agitation associated with psychosis
• Prevention of movement side effects (stiffness, tremors) caused by antipsychotic treatment

HOW IT WORKS

• Chlorpromazine and Trifluoperazine block certain dopamine receptors in the brain, helping to calm abnormal thoughts and behaviour
• Benzhexol works on a different pathway to relax muscles and reduce stiffness or tremor that antipsychotics can cause
• Together, the combination helps control psychotic symptoms while limiting movement-related side effects

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• It is not a treatment for simple anxiety or sleep problems alone
• It is not used for depression without psychotic features
• It is not a painkiller or a general sedative for everyday use
• It should not be used without a doctor's prescription for self-diagnosed mental health issues
