Amipride 200mg Strip Of 10 Tabletss
Description
Amipride is a prescription medicine used to treat schizophrenia. This mental condition can make a person feel, see, or hear things that are not there, have unusual and frightening ideas, alter their
behaviour, and make them feel alone. People who experience these symptoms may feel tense, nervous, or depressed. Amisulpride works by calming down agitated thoughts, feelings and actions. It works by blocking certain dopamine receptors in the brain responsible for positive (thought disorder, disorganised speech and behaviour) and negative symptoms (emotionless, low motivation, the low feeling of happiness) of schizophrenia and relieves the patient of its symptoms and brings about mental balance. The patient should not stop having this tablet suddenly even if they feel better because their initial symptoms are likely to return. If the patient takes an excess dose of this tablet, they may experience side effects such as drowsiness and slurred speech. Patients should avoid consuming alcohol during their treatment. The patient should also restrain themselves from driving or operating heavy machinery. Severe liver impairment may be seen in some who take this medication. The doctor should be immediately consulted if the patient has yellowing of the skin, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The patient may experience certain non-harming side effects such as dizziness, dry mouth, blurring of vision, irritability, increased appetite and nausea. This tablet should not be taken if the patient has pheochromocytoma, tumour of the pituitary gland (prolactinoma), breast cancer and liver disease. Children should not take this tablet up to puberty. This tablet should also not be taken if the patient develops an allergic reaction such as rash over the skin, itching, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and lips. This tablet should not be taken if the patient is breastfeeding. .
