Olimelt 15 Tablet

Product Introduction
Olimelt 15 Tablet is a medicine prescribed for managing schizophrenia, a mental health condition that may cause hallucinations, delusions, and difficulty thinking or behaving normally. It is also effective in treating mania, a state of abnormally elevated mood or energy.

This medicine can be taken with or without meals, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to keep the drug level steady in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and duration. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember, but avoid taking two doses at the same time. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can worsen your symptoms.

Some common side effects may include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, and restlessness. At the beginning of the treatment, you might experience a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, so rise slowly from sitting or lying down positions. It may also cause dizziness or drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.

This medication may increase weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet and regular exercise can help reduce these effects. Rarely, it may cause serious complications such as very high blood sugar levels or seizures, so monitoring is important.
