How Sizeco 1mg/ml Syrup Works

Sizeco 1mg/ml Syrup belongs to a group of medicines known as atypical antipsychotics. It works by modifying the activity of certain natural chemicals in the brain, primarily dopamine and serotonin. These chemicals are responsible for sending signals that control mood, thinking, and perception. In people with conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, these chemical signals can become unbalanced. Sizeco 1mg/ml Syrup helps restore balance by gently blocking overactive chemical pathways, which helps clear up thoughts and stabilises emotional highs and lows.
