Kivicalm Tablet

Description

Product Introduction:

Kivicalm Tablet is a prescription medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia, a mental disorder that causes abnormal thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. This combination medicine works by altering the chemical imbalances in the brain, helping to restore normal thoughts and mood, and improving the person’s ability to think, feel, and behave.

In addition to managing the psychological symptoms of schizophrenia, Kivicalm Tablet also aids in improving muscle control and reducing muscle stiffness, which may be a result of the condition or its treatment. It can be taken with or without food, and it is important to take the tablet at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of the medicine in the body. Always follow the prescribed dose and duration given by your doctor and never stop the medication abruptly, as it may worsen your symptoms.

How It Works:

Kivicalm Tablet contains two active ingredients:

1. Trifluoperazine (5 mg): A typical antipsychotic drug, trifluoperazine works by blocking the action of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that affects mood, thoughts, and behavior. By reducing dopamine activity, it helps improve the symptoms of schizophrenia.
2. Trihexyphenidyl (2 mg): Trihexyphenidyl is added to prevent and treat side effects caused by trifluoperazine, such as muscle spasms or involuntary movements (e.g., shaking of the hands). It helps improve muscle control and reduce muscle stiffness.

Together, these medications work to alleviate the symptoms of schizophrenia and improve overall mental and physical well-being.
