Skizoril ER 100 Capsule

Product introduction
Skizoril ER 100 Capsule is prescribed to help manage schizophrenia, a mental health condition that can cause hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, affecting how a person behaves and interacts with others.

This medication can be taken with or without meals, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to keep the drug level stable in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and duration. If you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not skip doses and complete the entire treatment course even if you start feeling better. Suddenly stopping the medication without medical guidance can worsen your symptoms.

Some people may experience side effects such as dizziness, headache, dry mouth, sweating, changes in blood pressure, or visual disturbances. If these effects persist or become severe, consult your doctor.

Before starting treatment, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart disease, diabetes, seizures, liver problems, swallowing difficulties, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, or if you have experienced abnormal tongue or facial movements or conditions like neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
