How to use

Never adjust the dose or stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen your condition. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's specific instructions.
How it works
Amisulpride works by selectively blocking dopamine receptors in specific areas of the brain. Dopamine is a natural chemical messenger that, when imbalanced, can cause symptoms of psychosis. By regulating dopamine activity, particularly D2 and D3 receptors, amisulpride helps reduce psychotic symptoms and stabilizes mood and behavior, allowing patients to think more clearly and function better in daily life.
