Loxitane

Active Ingredient: Loxapine

Loxitane is an antipsychotic medication which is used to treat schizophrenia by affecting the actions of chemicals (dopamine) in the brain.

General information
Loxitane is a psychiatric medication (antipsychotic type) that works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (such as dopamine) in the brain. It is used to treat certain mental or mood disorders (such as schizophrenia). This medication is not a cure for schizophrenia, it only helps to control symptoms. This medicine helps you to think more clearly and feel less nervous. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (such as hearing or seeing things that are not there).
Directions
Take Loxitane exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take this medication by mouth, usually 2 to 4 times daily with or without food. The recommended starting dose for treatment of schizophrenia is 10 mg twice daily (or up to 25 mg twice daily for severe schizophrenia). Your doctor may increase your dose up to 250 mg total per day if necessary. Take it at the same time each day.
Precautions
Before taking Loxitane you should talk with your doctor if you have epilepsy or other seizure disorder, liver disease, Parkinson's disease, low white blood cell counts, glaucoma, urination problems, heart disease, breast cancer, enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy or cause blurred vision. Do not drive or perform tasks that require alertness. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Alcohol can increase the risk of hypotension. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated.
Contraindications
You should not take Loxitane if you are allergic to it, loxapine, or any inactive ingredients of the drug, or if you have decreased alertness caused by taking certain medications or drinking alcohol. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
