Flurilept Tablet


Product introduction

Flurilept Tablet is used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It may also be used to treat depression and bipolar disorder. It alters the thoughts and elevates the mood, improving the person’s ability to think, feel and behave.

Flurilept Tablet is used to treat certain mental disorders such as schizophrenia (a mental illness which causes disturbed thinking, strong emotions and abnormal behaviour), mania (an abnormally elevated mood state), behavioural problems in adults and children and symptoms of Tourette's disease (repetative uncontrolled movements and sounds).

Benefits of Flurilept Tablet

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder in which a person’s thinking ability, feelings, and behavior become abnormal. Flurilept Tablet helps restore the chemical imbalances in the brain that are responsible for such changes. It improves thoughts, behavior and enhances the quality of life.

You may experience fewer episodes of depression and low mood.
