Introduction

Cizoren Plus 5mg/2mg Tablet is a combination medicine used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It alters the thoughts and elevates the mood, improving the person's ability to think, feel and behave.

Haloperidol is a typical antipsychotic that works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger (dopamine) in the brain that affects thoughts and mood. However, it may cause side effects such as involuntary movements (shaking of hands, muscle spasms). Trihexyphenidyl is added to treat and prevent these side effects.
