Apexidone is used to treat psychiatric and neurological disorders. This medication is an antipsychotic that works to regulate neurotransmitter levels in the brain, which helps improve the symptoms associated with some conditions. It is primarily used to treat schizophrenia and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. It may also sometimes be prescribed to treat behavioral problems or disorders related to anxiety and depression, based on a doctor's assessment.
Apexidone must be used under close medical supervision because the dosage and frequency of use depend on the patient's general health condition and diagnosis. This medication can cause some side effects such as drowsiness, weight gain, or movement disorders. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while taking it until its effects on the body become clear.
