Halopac 25 Capsule

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Halopac 25 Capsule is used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It may also be used to treat depression and bipolar disorder. It alters the thoughts and elevates the mood, improving the person’s ability to think, feel and behave.

Halopac 25 Capsule 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 Halopac Capsule

In Treatment of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder in which a person’s thinking ability, feelings, and behavior become abnormal. Halopac 25 Capsule 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 Depression

Halopac 25 Capsule helps in maintaining the balance of certain chemicals in the brain that affect mood and behavior. This improves your mood, relieves anxiety, tension, helps you sleep better, and increases your energy levels. Halopac 25 Capsule prevents extreme changes in mood and helps you feel less agitated. You may experience fewer episodes of depression and low mood.

In Treatment of Bipolar disorder

Halopac 25 Capsule works to restore the normal balance of nerve activity in your brain. It can help prevent extreme changes in mood and help you feel less agitated. You may experience fewer episodes of low mood. It can take several weeks for this medicine to work and you may still feel low during this time. It is likely that you will take this medicine for at least six months but possibly much longer. It needs to be taken regularly to work effectively. Do not stop taking it unless your doctor advises you to. You should continue to eat well and keep fit to reduce symptoms of bipolar disorder.
