Carinia 3 Tablet

Carinia 3 Tablet is a medicine prescribed for managing schizophrenia, a mental health condition that can cause hallucinations, delusions, and difficulties in thinking and behavior. It is also used for treating mania and bipolar disorder.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time every day to maintain a stable amount in the body. Follow the dosage and duration given by your doctor, and if you forget a dose, take it when you remember. Avoid stopping the medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can make your symptoms worse. If you notice signs like high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures, stop taking the medicine and seek medical help immediately, as these may be symptoms of a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).

Some common side effects include movement disorders, restlessness, indigestion, drowsiness, and vomiting. At the beginning of treatment, it may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, so it’s better to get up slowly from sitting or lying down positions. Since it can make you feel dizzy or sleepy, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how it affects you. Weight gain may occur with this medication, but maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can help manage this effect.

Patients using this medicine should be careful as it may increase blood sugar levels, raising the risk of diabetes. Regular monitoring of glucose is recommended. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts while on this medication.
