Overview Odozap 10 Tablet

Odozap 10mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thought/behavior) and mania. Dosage is flexible—with or without food—but consistent daily timing ensures stable blood levels. Follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration. Missed doses should be taken immediately upon recall. Abrupt cessation is dangerous and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your physician before stopping treatment. 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 sitting or lying. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential risks, mitigable through diet and exercise. Rare but serious side effects include severe hyperglycemia and convulsions.
