About PALIP XR 3MG TABLET

PALIP XR 3MG TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called 'antipsychotics' used to treat schizophrenia and manic depression (or bipolar disorder). PALIP XR 3MG TABLET also treats short-term treatment of long-term aggression in people with Alzheimer's dementia and mentally disabled children. 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, or feel unusually suspicious or confused. Manic depression, or bipolar disorder, is a severe brain disorder in which a person experiences extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behaviour changes. 

PALIP XR 3MG TABLET contains 'Paliperidone' that works by blocking the effects of chemical messengers in the brain (i.e., dopamine and serotonin), thereby helping improve mood, behaviour and thoughts. PALIP XR 3MG TABLET elevates the symptoms of the disease and prevents them from returning.
