Product Introduction:
Amazeo OD 200mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Amisulpride, an atypical antipsychotic medication used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. It works by modulating dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain, helping to alleviate psychotic symptoms.
Amazeo OD 200mg Tablet may be taken with or without food, preferably before bedtime. However, it is advised to take it at the same time each day as this helps to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor and if you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. It is important that this medication is not stopped suddenly without talking to your doctor as it may worsen your symptoms.
Some common side effects of this medicine include nausea, vomiting, dryness in the mouth, blurred vision, insomnia, and erectile dysfunction. Initially, this medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. It also causes dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. This medicine can lead to weight gain and may increase your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. However, modifying your lifestyle by having a healthy diet and exercising regularly can reduce this side effect.
