Overview Olace 10mg Tablet

Ten-milligram Olace tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Olace 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. Discontinuing this medication abruptly is unsafe and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your doctor first. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initial use might cause orthostatic hypotension (sudden blood pressure drops when standing); rise slowly from lying or sitting positions. Dizziness and drowsiness are also possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring concentration until the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through diet and exercise. Rare but serious side effects include dangerously high blood sugar or seizures.
