Overview Qulong 100mg Tablet SR

Qulong 100mg sustained-release tablets treat schizophrenia (a severe mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and manic episodes. They're also prescribed for bipolar disorder. This medication can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing ensures stable blood levels. Follow your doctor's dosage and duration instructions. If a dose is missed, take it promptly. Never abruptly stop taking Qulong 100mg SR without consulting your physician, as this can exacerbate symptoms. However, immediately discontinue use if Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) occurs (fever, muscle stiffness, altered mental state, or seizures). Common side effects include reduced hemoglobin, elevated triglycerides, decreased cholesterol, headache, extrapyramidal symptoms, dry mouth, and withdrawal symptoms. Initially, postural hypotension (sudden blood pressure drop upon standing) may occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying. Drowsiness and dizziness are possible; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the effects are known. Weight gain is a potential side effect, mitigated by healthy diet and exercise. Increased diabetes risk necessitates regular glucose monitoring. Report any unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal ideation to your doctor immediately.
