Overview Kola 10mg Tablet

Ten-milligram Kola tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Administer with or without food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration; take missed doses promptly. Discontinue only under medical supervision to prevent symptom exacerbation. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initial postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drops upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying. Drowsiness and dizziness are possible; avoid driving or tasks demanding concentration until effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by healthy diet and exercise. Serious, though rare, adverse events include severe hyperglycemia and seizures.
