Overview Aricalm 5mg Tablet

Calmigen 5mg tablets are prescribed for managing psychotic symptoms. This medication treats schizophrenia (characterized by distorted perceptions, disordered thinking, and altered behavior) and manic episodes. It's also employed in the treatment of depression and bipolar affective disorder. Calmigen 5mg tablets are administered orally, with or without food, ideally at the same time each day for consistent blood levels. Follow your physician's prescribed dosage and duration. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible, but avoid doubling up. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve. Abrupt cessation should be avoided; consult your doctor before stopping. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and dry mouth. Initial postural hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from a lying or sitting position. Drowsiness and dizziness are possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring alertness until the effects are known. Elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels are potential side effects, mitigable through dietary adjustments and regular exercise. Report any unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal ideation to your doctor immediately.
