Ilodon Tablet 2 mg contains Iloperidone, an atypical antipsychotic medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It helps manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and emotional disturbances. This lower-strength formulation is commonly used during the initial titration phase to gradually adjust the dose and improve tolerability.

Iloperidone works by balancing key neurotransmitters in the brain, contributing to improved mood, behavior, and cognitive function.

Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Iloperidone 2 mg

Mechanism of Action

Iloperidone acts by blocking dopamine (D2) and serotonin (5-HT2A) receptors in the brain. This dual action helps reduce psychotic symptoms while minimizing some of the side effects associated with older antipsychotic medications. It also has effects on other receptors that contribute to its therapeutic and side effect profile.
