Overview Meltolan 2.5mg Tablet

Aripiprazole 2.5mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a 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 remembering. Discontinue only under medical supervision to prevent symptom exacerbation. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initially, postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drops upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through diet and exercise. Rarely, severe hyperglycemia or seizures may occur, necessitating medical attention.
