Overview Tolaz 10mg Injection

Tolaz 10mg Injection treats schizophrenia (a mental illness causing hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking/behavior) and mania. Administer Tolaz 10mg Injection with or without food, but consistently at the same time daily for optimal blood levels. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recollection. Abrupt cessation is unsafe; consult your doctor before stopping treatment to avoid symptom exacerbation. 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 mentally demanding tasks until effects are known. Weight gain, elevated blood sugar, and increased cholesterol are potential side effects, mitigable through diet and exercise. While rare, serious adverse events such as severe hyperglycemia or convulsions may arise.
