Spenzo Depot 40 Injection

Product Introduction
Spenzo Depot 40 Injection is a prescription medication primarily used for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is also beneficial in managing depression and bipolar disorder. This medicine works by balancing certain natural substances in the brain, which helps improve mood, thinking, and behavior.

This injection is administered by a healthcare professional and should never be self-injected. It is important to receive it at the same time during each scheduled dose to maintain a steady level of medicine in the body. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and treatment duration. Do not stop taking this medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may cause the symptoms to return or worsen. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, but do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Some common side effects of Spenzo Depot 40 Injection include dry mouth, constipation, muscle stiffness, urinary retention, and changes in voluntary movements. It may also cause drowsiness or dizziness, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this medicine affects you. Rising slowly from a sitting or lying position can help prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure. Weight gain may also occur, so maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is recommended. Some people may experience mild pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, which usually resolves on its own.

Inform your doctor immediately if you notice unusual movements of the face, tongue, lips, or jaw. Your doctor may recommend routine checks of blood sugar and cholesterol levels during treatment. Avoid alcohol while on this medication as it can increase drowsiness.
