About Asevator 10mg Tablet

ASENAPINE belongs to a group of medicines called 'antipsychotics' used to treat schizophrenia and manic depression (or bipolar disorder).  Schizophrenia is a mental condition in which the person may feel, hear or see things that are not there, believe things that are not true, feel unusually suspicious or confused. Manic depression or bipolar disorder is a serious brain disorder in which a person experiences extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behaviours changes.

ASENAPINE contains 'Asenapine' that works by blocking the effects of chemical messengers in the brain (i.e. dopamine and serotonin), thereby helps in improving mood, behaviour and thoughts. ASENAPINE elevates the disease's symptoms and prevents them from coming back. ASENAPINE treats schizophrenia and bipolar disorder who are at least 18 years of age.

ASENAPINE causes drowsiness and dizziness, do not drive unless you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ASENAPINE as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness.

ASENAPINE may not be suitable for people with a history of prolactin-dependant breast cancer as ASENAPINE increases prolactin levels.
