Nulet-5 Tablet 15's

Nulet-5 Tablet is an antipsychotic medicine used to treat mood disorders like schizophrenia, irritability linked with autism, and Tourette's syndrome. Besides this, Nulet-5 Tablet also helps in managing mental depression along with other antidepressant medicines. Schizophrenia affects the ability of a person to feel, think and behave clearly. Tourette's syndrome is a mental disorder characterized by uncontrollable, repetitive movements or unwanted sounds (tics). Psychosis may be caused by disturbances in chemical messenger activity known as neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin) in the brain.

Nulet-5 Tablet contains Aripiprazole, which stabilizes and blocks the dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain, preventing its overactivity, thereby controlling the positive symptoms like hallucinations, misbelief, and unfriendly characteristics of schizophrenia. Nulet-5 Tablet improves the activity of dopamine and serotonin receptors in other areas of the brain. It helps control negative symptoms (like lack of emotion, social isolation, poor attention, and memory loss) of schizophrenia. Thus, Nulet-5 Tablet improves mood swings, depression, and other psychotic problems.
