Amijoy 50 MG Description
Amijoy tablet is a prescription medication. It is used to treat schizophrenia. It is a psychotic disorder that changes one’s way of thinking, emotionally reacting and behaving in typical situations.
It has positive symptoms (confusion and hallucination) and negative symptoms (such as lack of facial expression and decreased speaking). Helping with all of them, predominantly negative symptoms, is the Amijoy tablet's primary use. Amisulpride is the main active ingredient of the Amijoy tablet. The mode of action of the Amijoy tablet is to block receptors and increase dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain. Both chemical messengers help calm the mood and stabilise the overactivity of the nerve cells in the brain. These tablets are not meant for treating children under 18. Tremors, dizziness, vomiting, etc., are some of the side effects of Amijoy tablets. It is vital to notify the treating doctor of any prescribed medicines being taken to check for any potential interactions and adverse effects. Also, tell the doctor if the patient is suffering from other psychotic disorders or have any other history of health conditions.
