Librolent Tablets Description

Librolent Tab is a prescription medication. It belongs to a group of medications called antipsychotics, and is used in the management of schizophrenia. It is a combination of two medicines, trifluope

razine and chlordiazepoxide. Schizophrenia is a psychological disorder where patients have an altered perception of reality, affecting the manner in which they feel, think, and behave. They can present with hallucinations, delusions, altered perceptions, mood changes, disorderly thinking: all of which can be debilitating. There are certain chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) and pathways in the brain that are thought to produce the symptoms of schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications primarily work by dampening this process, thereby producing relieving symptoms. Librolent Tab should be taken as recommended by the treating physician. For optimal pharmacological effects, it is advised to take the medicine at the same time every day. It is also recommended to complete the entire course of the Librolent Tab. Abruptly stopping Librolent Tab can cause worsening of symptoms.
