Overview Arpizol 15 Tablet

Arpizol 15mg tablets are an antipsychotic medication indicated for schizophrenia (a mental illness characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking and behavior), as well as manic episodes. This medication is also prescribed for depression and bipolar disorders. Administer orally, with or without food, ideally at the same time each morning to ensure 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 on doses. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve. Discontinuing Arpizol 15mg abruptly is discouraged without consulting your doctor, as this may exacerbate symptoms. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and dry mouth. Postural hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing) may occur initially; rise slowly from a sitting or lying position. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until the effects are known. Elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels are potential side effects; mitigating these through diet and exercise is recommended. Report any unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts to your doctor immediately.
