Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“4 Consistent with these mechanisms, caffeine potentiates the anticholinergic agent trihexyphenidyl in reversing haloperidol-induced catalepsy in rats.”
A new approach to Parkinson's disease combining caffeine, methylphenidate, and anticholinergic agents: case histories, pharmacological data, and a conceptual framework from traditional Chinese medicine.“Although the combined administration of caffeine plus trihexyphenidyl showed no synergism in these models, the results suggest that low doses of caffeine (1-3 mg/kg/day) could be of therapeutic value for the reversal of motor symptoms in parkinsonian patients.”
Sustained improvement of motor function in hemiparkinsonian rats chronically treated with low doses of caffeine or trihexyphenidyl“Hence, these results support the proposal that low, subthreshold doses of caffeine plus THP have the potential to alleviate the motor disabilities in parkinsonian patients, with a low risk of causing anxiety or memory impairment.”
“However, the combination of caffeine plus THP restored locomotion (141 +/- 19%) and vertical exploration (82 +/- 17%) to levels not significantly different to those of non-reserpinized rats.”
“Since caffeine enhances the potency of THP to inhibit haloperidol-induced catalepsy, caffeine may be used as an adjuvant of lower doses of THP, in order to improve its antiparkinsonian effects without causing memory disruption.”
