Forcan 200 Tablet

Product Introduction

Soltus OD 300mg Tablet is a medication primarily used in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. Each tablet of Soltus OD 300mg contains the active ingredient Paliperidone, which is the major metabolite of Risperidone, another well-known antipsychotic medication.

Paliperidone acts by blocking the action of dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. This helps to normalize the activity of certain neurotransmitters, thereby reducing psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. The “OD” in Soltus OD 300mg stands for “Once Daily,” indicating that it is designed to be taken once a day for convenience and improved patient compliance.
