Overview Fonola 15mg Tablet

Fonola 15mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Administer this medication with or without food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recollection. Discontinuing Fonola 15mg abruptly is unsafe and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your physician first. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drops upon standing) may occur initially; rise slowly from lying or sitting positions. Drowsiness and dizziness are possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until the drug's effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through diet and exercise. Rare but serious adverse events include severe hyperglycemia and seizures.
