Overview Tolac 5mg Tablet DT

Tolac 5mg Tablet DT treats schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. It 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. Abrupt cessation is dangerous 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 when changing positions) may occur; rise slowly from sitting or lying. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring concentration until the effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigatable through diet and exercise. Rare but serious side effects include severe hyperglycemia and seizures.
