ARZU 30MG TABLET 10'S

How ARZU 30MG TABLET 10'S Works

• Aripiprazole acts on two brain messengers, dopamine and serotonin. It is a partial agonist at dopamine D2 receptors. Where dopamine activity is too high, as in psychosis, it dampens the signal, and where activity is low, it provides some stimulation.
• It also stimulates serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and blocks 5-HT2A receptors. This balancing action reduces psychotic and manic symptoms. It also partly explains why aripiprazole causes less weight gain and fewer hormone-related side effects than some other antipsychotics.

Common effects include restlessness or an inner urge to keep moving (akathisia), sleepiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, constipation, dizziness, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Blurred vision, tremor and stiffness can also occur. Some of these settle over the first few weeks. Aripiprazole can raise blood sugar and blood fats, so weight, blood sugar and cholesterol are usually checked during treatment. Dizziness on standing up, caused by a fall in blood pressure, is more likely at the start. Rare but serious effects need urgent medical attention. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a reaction with high fever, stiff muscles, confusion and a fast heartbeat. Tardive dyskinesia is uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue or limbs. Seizures and difficulty swallowing can also occur. Unusual urges, such as compulsive gambling, eating, shopping or sexual urges, have been reported and should be mentioned to the doctor.
