Haloperidol blocks postsynaptic dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in the mesolimbic system and decreases the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones. It produces calmness and reduces aggressiveness with disappearance of hallucinations and delusions. Trihexyphenidyl HCl is a tertiary amine antimuscarinic which exerts a direct inhibitory effect on the parasympathetic nervous system. It also exhibits a direct spasmolytic action on smooth muscle, weak mydriatic, antisialagogue and cardiovagal blocking effects.
