Suffering From Tremors, Prescribed Madopar. Can I Take Arkine Trihexphenidly As Alternate?

I am working in Indonesia? 48 year old male. ( Corrosion Engineer) I have been suffering from a tremor for years!! Recently a saw a Nueroligist in Singapore, she prescribed me with Madopar250its brilliant. I am running short of my medication , and cannot go into Singapore!!! The only Medicine ( Tablet) i can obtain here is a different type for parkinsons related symptoms Arkine Trihexphenidyl - Please advise. I think its the same type of tablet, just maybe a different trade name. Mark

Hi there ~

Modapar is not the same as trihexyphendyl. I would have you consult your neurologist in Singapore before you change your own medications.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a nice day !
