About this product

Overview

Avega Sr 3mg Tablet contains the active ingredient paliperidone, which belongs to a class of medications known as atypical antipsychotics. Paliperidone is primarily used to treat schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. It works by restoring the balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin, which are believed to be involved in the development of psychotic symptoms.

Composition

  • Active Ingredient: Paliperidone 3mg
  • Inactive Ingredients: The tablet may contain other inactive ingredients such as lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, and others.

Uses

  • Schizophrenia: Paliperidone is effective in treating symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and negative symptoms (such as lack of motivation or emotional expression).
  • Related Psychotic Disorders: It may also be used to manage symptoms of other psychotic disorders such as schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder with psychotic features.

Dosage and Administration

  • The dosage of Avega Sr 3mg Tablet may vary depending on the individual’s condition, response to treatment, and the severity of symptoms.
  • It is usually taken orally once daily, with or without food.
  • The initial dose for most adults is 3mg per day, which may be adjusted by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s response.
  • The dose range for maintenance therapy is typically between 3mg to 12mg per day, although some individuals may require higher doses.

Precautions

  • Paliperidone may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors, especially in young adults and adolescents. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is necessary, especially during the initial stages of treatment.
  • Inform your doctor about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking before starting paliperidone therapy.
  • Use caution while driving or operating machinery, as paliperidone may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
  • Paliperidone should be used with caution in elderly patients, as they may be more susceptible to adverse effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and orthostatic hypotension.

Side Effects

  • Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, weight gain, dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision.
  • Serious side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), tardive dyskinesia, and metabolic changes (such as hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia) may occur but are less common.
