Overview Olay 20mg Tablet

Twenty-milligram Olay tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Administer with or without food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recall. Discontinue only under medical supervision; abrupt cessation may exacerbate symptoms. 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 mentally demanding tasks until effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by healthy diet and exercise. Rarely, serious adverse events such as hyperglycemia or convulsions can occur.
