Overview Onex 5mg Tablet

Onix 5mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Onix 5mg 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.
