Qutan 100 Tablet 1*10

Product Introduction
Qutan 100 Tablet is prescribed for managing schizophrenia, a mental health condition that can cause hallucinations, delusions, and disturbances in thinking and behavior. It is also used to treat mania and bipolar disorder.

You can take Qutan 100 Tablet with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day to keep a steady level of the medication in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions for dosage and duration carefully. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen your condition. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), such as high fever, muscle stiffness, altered consciousness, or seizures.

Common side effects include reduced hemoglobin levels, increased triglycerides, lower cholesterol, headache, dry mouth, dizziness, and withdrawal symptoms. At the beginning of treatment, you might experience a sudden drop in blood pressure when changing positions, so stand up slowly from sitting or lying down. This medicine can also cause drowsiness and dizziness, so avoid driving or activities that require focus until you know how it affects you. Weight gain is another possible side effect, but maintaining a balanced diet and exercising regularly can help manage it.

This medicine may increase the risk of diabetes, so regular monitoring of blood sugar is recommended. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts while on this medication.
