Overview Olzest 5mg Tablet DT

Olzest 5mg Delayed-Release tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Administer this medication with or without food, but 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 use only under physician 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 the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by a healthy diet and exercise. Rarely, serious adverse events such as severe hyperglycemia or convulsions may arise.
