Spenzo Depot 20 Injection

Product Introduction
Spenzo Depot 20 Injection is a prescription medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia. It is also effective in managing depression and bipolar disorder. This medicine works by balancing certain natural substances in the brain, which helps improve mood, thoughts, and behavior.

This injection is administered by a healthcare professional and should never be self-injected. It is important to take it at the same time each day to maintain steady levels of the drug in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration carefully. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not stop the treatment suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this could worsen your symptoms.

Some individuals may experience side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, urinary problems, muscle stiffness, or difficulty in voluntary movements. Dizziness and drowsiness are also common, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. The injection may cause a temporary drop in blood pressure when you stand up quickly, so get up slowly to prevent dizziness. Weight gain is another possible side effect, so maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Mild reactions like redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site are usually temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist.

Inform your doctor immediately if you notice unusual movements in your face, lips, tongue, or jaw. Your doctor may also recommend periodic monitoring of your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication as it can increase drowsiness and other side effects.
