Neocalm Plus Tablet Description

Neocalm Plus Tablet is a prescription medicine for schizophrenia and non-psychotic anxiety. Neocalm Tablet contains the active ingredients trifluoperazine (antipsychotic) and trihexyphenidyl (used to

control side effects of trifluoperazine). Neocalm Plus Tablet can also be used in patients to combat anxiety in whom conventional treatment methods have failed. It makes the skin photosensitive, and it is thus advised to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. You should avoid alcohol consumption during the course of your treatment as it may cause drowsiness and sedation. Avoid taking this tablet with antacids as it decreases absorption. You should not stop taking Neocalm Plus Tablet abruptly, and should consult a doctor if you wish to stop taking it. Neocalm Plus Tablet only provides symptomatic relief. You may experience side effects like drowsiness, agitation, libido, menstrual changes, dry mouth, blurred vision and difficulty passing stools.
