Disabling side effects a problem for… Patient - adding drug-induced sedation and other physical problems to the ambulatory schizophrenic's already heavy burden can only lessen the patient's prospects for a better life. Family - disturbing drug-induced side effects can provoke embarrassment and shame among family and friends and contribute to the deterioration of family relationships so often seen when the schizophrenic lives at home. Physician - the need to limit the dosage of certain neuroleptics - dur to the emergence of disabling side effects - has been a continuing problem to the physician treating the ambulatory schizophrenic. To help the ambulatory schizophrenic function more normally, Orap tablets exhibit minimal disabling side effects. The normal maintenance dosage levels of Orap exhibit virtually no hypnosedative action nor are disabling autonomic or extrapyramidal effects generally seen in the effective range. With their physical and mental capacity relatively unimpaired, patients build up self-confidence. They feel they have the capacity to cope and to become functioning, productive members of the community. |
