About Thioril 10 Tablet
THIORIL 10MG TABLET belongs to a group of medications called ‘antipsychotics.’ It is used to treat schizophrenia or psychosis and bipolar disorder (manic depression). Schizophrenia is characterized by hallucinations symptoms (seeing or hearing things that are not real) and delusions (wrong beliefs). Manic episodes of excitement or depression characterize bipolar disorder. THIORIL 10MG TABLET prevents the occurrence of these symptoms.
THIORIL 10MG TABLET contains ‘Thioridazine,’ which is an antipsychotic drug. It acts by blocking dopamine, a neurotransmitter present in the brain responsible for developing schizophrenia and bipolar disorder symptoms. THIORIL 10MG TABLET rebalances dopamine to improve thinking, mood and behavior. It also blocks the other natural substances receptors in the brain, such as histamine and muscarinic, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.
