Product introduction

Quietal 100mg 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.

Quietal 100mg 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).

In Treatment of Mania

Mania means extremely excited or elevated mood. Quietal 100mg Tablet helps calm the mood and relax the nerves. This stabilizes the mood and prevents the symptoms of mania from recurring again.
