What is Prexal 10mg?
Prexal 10mg is an atypical antipsychotic medication that contains the active ingredient Olanzapine. It is primarily used in psychiatric care to manage conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder (manic or mixed episodes). Prexal is manufactured by JOSWE Medical and distributed in Nigeria by Afrab-Chem Limited.
How Prexal 10mg Works
Olanzapine works by balancing chemicals in the brain, specifically dopamine and serotonin. By antagonizing these receptors, Prexal helps to reduce symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, while also stabilizing mood in patients with bipolar disorder.
Usage and Dosage
Prexal comes in the form of film-coated caplets. The 10mg strength is typically prescribed for daily use, but the exact dosage must be determined by a qualified healthcare professional. As a Prescription Only Medicine (POM), it should only be taken under strict medical supervision.
