Overview Aricalm 20mg Tablet

Calmigen 20mg tablets are prescribed for managing psychosis. This medication treats schizophrenia (a mental illness characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thought processes and behavior) and manic episodes. It's also indicated for depression and bipolar disorder. Calmigen 20mg tablets are administered orally, with or without food, preferably in the morning. Consistency is key; take it at the same time daily for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's dosage and duration instructions. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recall. Complete the entire course, even if feeling improved, and never discontinue abruptly without consulting your physician, as this may exacerbate symptoms. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and dry mouth. Initially, postural hypotension (a sudden blood pressure drop upon standing) may occur, so rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring alertness until the effects are known. Increased blood sugar and cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through healthy diet and regular exercise. Report any unusual mood or behavior changes, new or worsening depression, or suicidal ideation to your doctor immediately.
