Treatment of schizophrenia in adults.
Treatment of acute manic episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults.
Blonitas 2mg Tab (Blonanserin) is a highly selective serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor antagonist and a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the activity of these receptors in the brain, which are thought to be involved in the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This helps to reduce the positive and negative symptoms associated with these conditions.
Store Blonanserin at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
Dosage should be determined by your doctor based on your individual needs and response to treatment.
Typically, the starting dose is gradually increased to find the optimal effective dose.
Do not stop taking Blonanserin abruptly without consulting your doctor.
