About Multizine-10 Tablet 10's

Multizine-10 Tablet 10's is used to treat schizophrenia or psychosis and bipolar disorder (manic depression). Schizophrenia is characterized by hallucinations symptoms (seeing or hearing things that are not real) and delusions (wrong beliefs). Manic episodes of excitement or depression characterize bipolar disorder. Multizine-10 Tablet 10's prevents the occurrence of these symptoms. 

Multizine-10 Tablet 10's contains ‘Thioridazine,’ which is an antipsychotic drug. It acts by blocking dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain responsible for developing schizophrenia and bipolar disorder symptoms. Multizine-10 Tablet 10's rebalances dopamine to improve thinking, mood and behaviour. It also blocks the other natural substance receptors in the brain, such as histamine and muscarinic, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.

Take Multizine-10 Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Multizine-10 Tablet 10's as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects of Multizine-10 Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
