Amide 50 MG Description
Amide 50 mg is used in the management of Schizophrenia. Amide 50 mg reduces the symptoms of schizophrenia by restoring the chemical imbalance in the brain. Overactive dopamine, a brain chemical,
is responsible for the symptoms of Schizophrenia. By regulating dopamine, Amide 50 mg reduces these symptoms. Amisulpride is the active ingredient of Amide 50 mg. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder wherein the affected person interprets reality in an abnormal way. There can be hallucinations (seeing things that are not there), delusions (beliefs contrary to reality), extremely disordered behavior, and thinking. Schizophrenia could interfere with daily functioning and can be disabling. Schizophrenia needs lifelong therapy. Early management helps in bringing the situation under control and prevents severe consequences.
