Product Introduction
Qutan 50 Tablet is a medicine that helps in the management of mental health conditions like schizophrenia and mania. Schizophrenia is a disorder that may cause hallucinations, delusions, and difficulties in thinking or behavior. This medicine is also beneficial for individuals with bipolar disorder by helping to stabilize mood swings.
You can take Qutan 50 Tablet with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day to maintain a stable amount of the medicine in your body. Follow the exact dose and schedule recommended by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for the next dose, in which case you should skip the missed one. Stopping this medicine suddenly may worsen your condition, so always speak to your doctor before discontinuing it. If you notice serious symptoms like high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures, stop the medicine and seek immediate medical attention as these could be signs of a rare but serious condition known as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS).
Common side effects include low hemoglobin levels, increased blood triglycerides, changes in cholesterol levels, headache, involuntary muscle movements, dry mouth, and withdrawal effects. Some people may feel dizzy or sleepy, so avoid driving or activities requiring concentration until you understand how this medicine affects you. Standing up slowly from a sitting or lying position can help prevent sudden drops in blood pressure. Weight gain is also possible, but a balanced diet and regular exercise can help manage it.
This medicine may raise the risk of diabetes, so keeping track of blood sugar levels is recommended. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or thoughts of self-harm.
