Overview Oxalitero 50mg Injection

Oxalitero 50mg Injection treats schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. It can be administered with or without food, but consistent daily timing is recommended for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recollection. Discontinuing this medication abruptly is unsafe and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your physician before stopping treatment. 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 positions. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring concentration until its effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through diet and exercise. Rarely, severe hyperglycemia or seizures may develop.
