Overview Polo Tablet

This medication, Polo Tablet, treats schizophrenia (a mental illness characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking and behavior) and mania. It can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing ensures steady blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration; if a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recollection. Abrupt discontinuation is unsafe and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your doctor before stopping. 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. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or activities requiring concentration until the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigated by healthy eating and exercise. Rarely, serious adverse events such as severe hyperglycemia or seizures can occur.
