Product Introduction
Trancodol LA Injection is prescribed to manage schizophrenia and other related mental health conditions. It is also helpful in treating psychosis, mania, severe behavioral disorders, and Tourette syndrome, which is characterized by involuntary motor and vocal tics. This medication is suitable for both adults and children, depending on the doctor’s recommendation.
The injection works by blocking the effects of dopamine, a natural substance in the brain that plays a role in mood, behavior, and thought processes. It is administered only under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Using it at the same time during each scheduled dose helps maintain steady levels of the medicine in the body. It is important to follow the exact dosage and duration advised by your doctor. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, but do not stop the treatment suddenly without medical guidance, as this could make the symptoms worse. Before starting treatment, your doctor may check heart health and electrolyte levels such as sodium and magnesium. Staying well hydrated is recommended, as the medicine may cause dehydration.
Some common side effects may include reactions at the injection site such as redness, swelling, or pain. Other possible effects include a dry mouth, constipation, difficulty urinating, tremors, and sleepiness. It can also cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, especially when moving from a sitting or lying position to standing, so rise slowly to prevent dizziness. Weight gain may occur during treatment, so following a balanced diet and regular exercise is advised. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
