Overview Meltez 2.5mg Tablet

Aripiprazole 2.5mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a severe mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. This medication can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing ensures stable blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration; if a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recall. Discontinuing this medicine abruptly is dangerous and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your doctor first. Typical side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initial postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drop upon standing) is possible; rise slowly from lying or sitting. Dizziness and drowsiness are common; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by a healthy diet and exercise. Rarely, serious complications like dangerously high blood sugar or seizures may occur.
