Qutan 25 Tablet 1*10

Product introduction
Qutan 25 Tablet is a medication primarily prescribed for the management of schizophrenia, a mental health condition that can lead to hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thinking or behavior. It is also used to control mania and manage bipolar disorder.

This medicine can be taken with or without meals, but it is best to take it at the same time every day to keep a stable level of the drug in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and treatment duration. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may cause your symptoms to return or worsen. If you experience symptoms like high fever, stiff muscles, confusion, or seizures, discontinue the medication immediately and seek medical help as these may indicate a serious condition known as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS).

Some commonly reported side effects include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, fatigue, changes in blood lipid levels, and orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up). At the beginning of treatment, you may feel lightheaded when moving from a sitting or lying position to standing, so rise slowly to reduce this effect. The medicine can also cause sleepiness and affect alertness, so avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring focus until you know how it affects you. Weight gain may occur with this medicine, but maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can help manage this side effect.

This medication may raise blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of diabetes, so regular monitoring of glucose is recommended. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts.
