Product Introduction

You can take Oliza 2.5 Tablet with or without meals, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to keep a steady level of the medicine in your system. Follow the dosage and duration as instructed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose, in which case, skip the missed dose. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it could worsen your condition.
Some common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, restlessness, and muscle stiffness. At the beginning of treatment, you might experience a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, so rise slowly from sitting or lying down. This medication may also cause dizziness or drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
