Description:
Sizodon 1 Tablet is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia—a mental health condition that can cause hallucinations, delusions, and disturbed thinking—as well as episodes of mania.
It can be taken with or without food, ideally at night. For best results, take it at the same time each day to maintain a steady level in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dose and duration. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not stop taking this medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, as doing so may worsen your symptoms. However, stop the medicine immediately and seek urgent medical attention if you experience signs of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), such as high fever, muscle stiffness, confusion, or seizures.
Common side effects include insomnia, drowsiness, sedation, vomiting, cough, parkinsonism (tremors, slow movement), headache, and fever. The medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you move from sitting or lying down—get up slowly to avoid dizziness. It can also cause sleepiness, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Weight gain is another possible side effect; maintaining a healthy diet and regular physical activity can help manage it.
Use this medicine with caution if you are at risk of diabetes, as it may increase blood sugar levels. Regular monitoring of glucose is advised. Let your doctor know if you notice any unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts while taking Sizodon.
