Overview Supral 2.5mg Tablet

Supral 2.5mg tablets treat schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and manic episodes. This medication 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 recollection. Abrupt discontinuation is dangerous and may exacerbate symptoms; consult your doctor before stopping. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and agitation. Initial blood pressure drops upon position changes are possible; rise slowly from sitting or lying. Dizziness and drowsiness may occur; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the drug's effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects; lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) can mitigate these risks. Rare but serious side effects include extremely high blood sugar and convulsions.
