Product Introduction
Soltus 100 Tablet is a prescription medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia, a mental health condition that affects a person’s ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. It helps in reducing symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.
This medicine can be taken with or without food, preferably at bedtime. For best results, it should be taken at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level of the drug in the body. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose, in which case, skip the missed one. Never stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may cause worsening of symptoms.
Some common side effects of Soltus 100 include nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, blurred vision, difficulty sleeping, and sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction. At the beginning of treatment, it may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you stand up or sit up quickly, so it is best to rise slowly. Drowsiness and dizziness are also common, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you. Additionally, it may lead to weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, or higher cholesterol. A healthy diet and regular physical activity can help manage these effects.
