Overview Olanxid 5mg Tablet

Olanxid 5mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thought processes and 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. Discontinuation requires prior medical consultation to prevent symptom exacerbation. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initially, postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drops when changing positions) may occur; 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 side effects, mitigated by diet and exercise. Rare but serious adverse events include dangerously high blood sugar or seizures.
