Iloperidone

Iloperidone is an atypical antipsychotic medication used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs called dopamine antagonists, which work by blocking the effects of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with psychosis and other psychiatric symptoms.
Iloperidone is effective in managing the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It also helps improve overall functioning and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia. The medication is available in tablet form and is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, counseling, and social support.
Iloperidone is particularly useful for patients who have not responded well to other antipsychotic medications or who experience bothersome side effects with those drugs. Common side effects of iloperidone include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, and weight gain. However, these side effects are generally mild and may lessen over time as the body adjusts to the medication.
