Alkepin Odt 100mg Tablet

Product Overview
Alkepin ODT 100mg Tablet is prescribed for managing schizophrenia, a mental health condition characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and difficulties with thinking and behavior.

This medication can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent drug levels in your system. Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and treatment duration strictly. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s near the time for your next dose. Do not stop the treatment abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may worsen symptoms.
