About TIAPREX 100MG TABLET

TIAPREX 100MG TABLET belongs to a class of drugs called 'antipsychotics' used to treat the behavioural disorder, dyskinesia (involuntary and abnormal movements), agitation and aggression in the elderly. Also, TIAPREX 100MG TABLET is used to treat alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Psychotic illness may be caused due to disturbances in neurotransmitters' activity (chemical messengers) such as dopamine in the brain.

TIAPREX 100MG TABLET contains Tiapride which works by preventing the release of a chemical messenger called 'dopamine' in the brain and prevents its overactivity. Thereby, it helps in controlling negative symptoms (such as lack of emotion, social isolation, poor attention and memory loss) of psychosis.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take TIAPREX 100MG TABLET based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience drowsiness, dizziness, headache, impassivity (lack of emotion), insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), tremor and increased saliva production. Most of these side effects of TIAPREX 100MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to TIAPREX 100MG TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Use TIAPREX 100MG TABLET with extreme caution in elderly patients above 65 years of age as there is an increased risk of severe adverse effects. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before taking TIAPREX 100MG TABLET.

If you have breast cancer, pheochromocytoma (tumour of the adrenal gland), pituitary gland prolactinoma (tumour of the pituitary gland), fits, Parkinson’s disease, kidney or heart problems, inform your doctor before taking TIAPREX 100MG TABLET.
