Carilift 1.5mg Capsule

Product Overview

Carilift 1.5mg Capsule is prescribed for managing schizophrenia—a mental health condition that can cause hallucinations, delusions, and affect a person’s thoughts and behavior—as well as mania. It is also used in the treatment of bipolar disorder.

How to Use

This medication can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to maintain stable drug levels in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and duration. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose; do not double up doses. Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider, as sudden discontinuation may worsen symptoms. If you experience signs of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (such as high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures), seek immediate medical attention.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include movement disorders (extrapyramidal symptoms), restlessness (akathisia), indigestion, vomiting, drowsiness, and feelings of agitation. Some people may experience a drop in blood pressure when standing up quickly, so rise slowly from sitting or lying down positions to avoid dizziness. Since the medication can cause drowsiness and dizziness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Weight gain may also occur; maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can help manage this side effect.

Important Precautions

This medication can increase the risk of developing diabetes, so regular monitoring of blood sugar is advisable. Inform your doctor if you notice any mood or behavior changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts while using this medication.
