Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Soltus Tablet works by changing chemical molecules in the brain to modify schizophrenic patients' behaviour. It works on the brain's dopamine receptors. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that aids in mood and behaviour regulation. Soltus Tablet helps treat schizophrenia symptoms by preventing excessive dopamine activity in the brain. This medication acts by attaching to the D2 and D3 subtypes of dopaminergic receptors and suppressing the neurotransmitter's effects in the brain.
