About ARZOL 15MG TABLET

ARZOL 15MG TABLET belongs to a class of drugs called antipsychotics and mood stabilizers primarily used to treat mood disorders like schizophrenia, irritability linked with autism, and Tourette's syndrome. Besides this, ARZOL 15MG 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 due to disturbances in chemical messenger activity known as neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin) in the brain.

ARZOL 15MG 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. ARZOL 15MG 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, ARZOL 15MG TABLET improves mood swings, depression, and other psychotic problems. 

Take ARZOL 15MG TABLET as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take ARZOL 15MG TABLET based on your medical condition. Some people may experience drowsiness, headache, tiredness, akathisia (inability to sit still), difficulty sleeping, light-headedness, indigestion, shaking, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, and increased saliva production. Most of these side effects of ARZOL 15MG 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 ARZOL 15MG TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. ARZOL 15MG TABLET should be used with caution in elderly patients above 65 years of age. There is an increased risk of adverse reactions such as dizziness, inability to move and balance, orthostatic hypotension (fall in blood pressure when standing up), and drowsiness. Avoid taking ARZOL 15MG TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and consult a doctor. ARZOL 15MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 15 years of age. If you have any self-harming thoughts or behavior while taking ARZOL 15MG TABLET, please contact a doctor immediately. If you have diabetes, abnormal blood pressure, high cholesterol, fits, involuntary muscle movements especially in the face, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), blood clots, a history of stroke or heart attack, kidney or liver problems, inform your doctor before taking ARZOL 15MG TABLET.

Medicinal Benefits

ARZOL 15MG TABLET contains Aripiprazole which helps treat various psychotic conditions like schizophrenia, mood disorders (such as mania and bipolar disorder), and sometimes depression.
