Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medications called ‘antipsychotics.’ It 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. Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's prevents the occurrence of these symptoms.
Tensaril 50 mg 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. Tensaril 50 mg 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 Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's 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 Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Do not take Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's if you are allergic to Thioridazine or any other ingredients present in it. Before taking Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's, 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 and have a history of dementia (memory loss).

Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain.

Altogether, Tensaril 50 mg Tablet 10's 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.
