Overview Olatig 10mg Tablet

Olatig 10mg 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 recollection. Discontinuing Olatig 10mg abruptly is unsafe and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your doctor first. 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 lying or sitting positions. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the drug's effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through diet and exercise.
