Sizodon LS Tablet

About Sizodon LS Tablet
Sizodon LS Tablet is a combined medication prescribed for schizophrenia, a condition that affects thoughts, emotions, and behavior. It works by balancing specific chemical messengers in the brain to improve mental stability and cognitive function.

How to Take It
The tablet can be taken with or without food, preferably in the evening. For best results, take it at the same time every day to maintain steady levels in the body. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dose and duration. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible, unless it is close to your next scheduled dose. Do not abruptly stop the medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may worsen your symptoms.

Uses
Sizodon LS Tablet is mainly used for:
• Managing schizophrenia

Benefits
The medication helps correct chemical imbalances in the brain that contribute to abnormal thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It can improve mood, cognition, and daily functioning. Treatment may take several weeks to show noticeable results, so continued use as prescribed is important.

Possible Side Effects
While most side effects are mild and temporary, some may occur as your body adjusts. These include:
• Nausea or constipation
• Dry mouth

Precautions

• Inform your doctor about all other medications being taken to avoid interactions

How It Works
Sizodon LS Tablet contains Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that adjusts dopamine and serotonin levels to stabilize mood, behavior, and thought patterns. Trihexyphenidyl is an anticholinergic that helps manage certain side effects caused by antipsychotic therapy and supports nervous system balance.

Missed Dose Guidance
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your normal schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
