CPZ 100 Tablet


Product introduction

CPZ 100 Tablet is a medicine used to treat various disorders such as schizophrenia and other psychoses like paranoia (delusions and feeling extremely worried or nervous), mania (overactive behavior), anxiety, agitation, and dangerously impulsive behavior.

CPZ 100 Tablet is used to treat certain mental disorders such as schizophrenia (a mental illness which causes disturbed thinking, strong emotions and abnormal behaviour), mania (an abnormally elevated mood state), behavioural problems in adults and children and symptoms of Tourette's disease (repetative uncontrolled movements and sounds).

Benefits of CPZ Tablet

In Treatment of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder in which a person’s thinking ability, feelings, and behavior become abnormal. CPZ 100 Tablet helps restore the chemical imbalances in the brain that are responsible for such changes. It improves thoughts, behavior and enhances the quality of life.

In Treatment of Mania

Mania means extremely excited or elevated mood. CPZ 100 Tablet helps calm the mood and relax the nerves. This stabilizes the mood and prevents the symptoms of mania from recurring again. Taking CPZ 100 Tablet will ensure that you have a better social life and can do daily activities more comfortably.

In Treatment of Anxiety

CPZ 100 Tablet reduces the symptoms of excessive anxiety and worry. It can also reduce feelings of restlessness, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and feeling irritable.

So, do not stop taking it without discussing it with your doctor.
