QUTAN 200MG TABLET 10'S

How QUTAN 200MG TABLET 10'S Works

• QUTAN 200MG TABLET 10'S is classified as an atypical antipsychotic medication. This means it works differently from older, typical antipsychotics, often with a reduced risk of certain side effects.
• The primary mechanism of QUTAN 200MG TABLET 10'S involves modulating the activity of specific neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) within the brain. These neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, play a crucial role in regulating mood, thoughts, and behavior.
• By influencing the way these neurotransmitters function and interact with brain cells, QUTAN 200MG TABLET 10'S helps to stabilize mood, reduce psychotic symptoms (like hallucinations and delusions), and improve overall mental well-being. It essentially fine-tunes the communication pathways in the brain to restore a more balanced and healthy state.
• The 'SR' in QUTAN 200MG TABLET 10'S indicates that it is a sustained-release formulation. This means the medication is released slowly into the body over an extended period. This sustained release helps to maintain a consistent level of the drug in the bloodstream, which can lead to more stable symptom control and reduce the frequency of dosing.

Most side effects are temporary and disappear as your body adapts to the medication. Consult your doctor if they continue or cause concern.
