Product introduction

Opiprol 100 Tablet is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. It also helps in restoring the messengers that elevate the mood.

Opiprol 100 Tablet may be taken with or without food. However, it is advised to take it at a fixed time each day to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the blood. If you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. This medication must not be stopped suddenly without talking to your doctor, as it may worsen your symptoms.

Some common side effects of this medicine include nasal congestion, fatigue, and dryness in the mouth. Initially, this medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. It even causes dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.

It is important to inform your doctor if you develop any unusual mood changes, as it may lead to suicidal thoughts. If you have been taking this medicine for a long time, regular monitoring of liver function may be required. Inform your doctor if you have any health conditions associated with the liver, kidneys, or heart. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding before taking Opiprol 100 Tablet.
