Sizodon Plus Tablet

About Sizodon Plus Tablet
Sizodon Plus Tablet is prescribed for schizophrenia, a mental condition that affects thinking, emotions, and behavior. This medicine works by regulating specific chemical messengers in the brain to support better mood, cognition, and behavior control.

How to Take Sizodon Plus Tablet
The tablet can be taken with or without food, preferably in the evening. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain a stable concentration in the bloodstream. Follow the dosage and schedule recommended by your doctor. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is near the next scheduled dose. Do not discontinue the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can worsen symptoms. Seek immediate medical help if signs of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (such as fever, muscle stiffness, or changes in consciousness) appear.

Potential Side Effects
While most side effects are mild and temporary, some patients may experience:
• Nausea or constipation
• Dry mouth
• Weight gain
• Sleepiness or drowsiness
• Dizziness or sudden drops in blood pressure when standing
• Tremors or parkinsonism
• Upper respiratory or urinary tract infections
• Blurred vision, headache, drooling, or nasal congestion
Regular monitoring of blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight is advised as this medication may increase them.

Uses
• Managing schizophrenia
• Restoring mood and cognitive stability

Benefits
Sizodon Plus Tablet helps balance brain chemicals to normalize thinking, behavior, and emotional responses. Over time, it supports daily functioning, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Continuous use as prescribed is important, as effects may take several weeks to become noticeable.

Mechanism of Action
This medicine combines Risperidone and Trihexyphenidyl. Risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic, balances dopamine and serotonin levels to regulate mood, thoughts, and behavior. Trihexyphenidyl, an anticholinergic, addresses certain nervous system imbalances and helps reduce side effects like Parkinsonian symptoms during antipsychotic therapy.

Precautions
• Avoid alcohol, as it can enhance drowsiness
• Consult your doctor if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
• Driving or operating machinery should be avoided if dizziness, sleepiness, or blurred vision occurs
• Use cautiously in kidney or liver impairment; dose adjustments may be needed
• Inform your doctor about all other medications to avoid interactions

How to Use
Swallow the tablet whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Take it at a fixed time daily, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider.

Missed Dose Instructions
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. Skip the dose if it is near the time of the next scheduled one. Do not double the dose to compensate.
