Multizine 25 mg Capsule 10's

Multizine 25 mg Capsule 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 25 mg Capsule prevents the occurrence of these symptoms. 

Multizine 25 mg Capsule 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 25 mg Capsule  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 25 mg Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Multizine 25 mg Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as sleepiness, orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing), dry mouth, abnormality of voluntary movements, weight gain, urinary retention, constipation, muscle stiffness, and tremor. Most of these side effects of Multizine 25 mg Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Multizine 25 mg Capsule if you are allergic to Thioridazine or any other ingredients present in it. Before taking Multizine 25 mg Capsule , talk to your doctor if you or your family have a history of blood clots, stroke or heart diseases and if you are above 65 years old and have a history of dementia (memory loss). Multizine 25 mg Capsule is not recommended during pregnancy as it may affect the unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding before taking Multizine 25 mg Capsule . It is not recommended for use in children under 1 year of age. Multizine 25 mg Capsule contains lactose, so it should not be given to people who are intolerant to some sugars. Please do not stop taking Multizine 25 mg Capsule without your doctor’s advice, as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Multizine 25 mg Capsule works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. The key action of Multizine 25 mg Capsule is to block the dopamine receptors (D2) in the brain and correct dopamine's overactivity. Altogether, Multizine 25 mg Capsule may help decrease hallucinations and help you think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less agitated and take a more active part in everyday life. On the other hand, it also blocks histamine H1 and muscarinic M1 receptors in the vomiting centre, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.

Schizophrenia (psychosis): It is a mental illness in which brain information processing is affected. Patients with schizophrenia develop symptoms such as hallucinations (seeing or hearing unreal things), delusions (false beliefs) and become withdrawal from society. They lose the ability to differentiate reality from false beliefs. Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder may occur due to genetic factors, alcohol or drug abuse, or mental trauma. Schizophrenia may also occur due to brain injuries or diseases.

Bipolar disorder: Patients with bipolar disorders have mood swings ranging from manic episodes of heightened excitement to severe depression. It may occur due to genetic factors, alcohol or drug abuse and mental trauma. It used to be known as manic depression.
