About Ridazin 25 Tablet

Ridazin 25 Tablet is used to treat schizophrenia or psychosis and bipolar disorder (manic depression). Schizophrenia is characterized by hallucinations symptoms (seeing or hearing things that are not real) and delusions (wrong beliefs). Manic episodes of excitement or depression characterize bipolar disorder. Ridazin 25 Tablet prevents the occurrence of these symptoms.
