About Multizine 50 mg Tablet

Multizine 50 mg 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. Multizine 50 mg Tablet prevents the occurrence of these symptoms.
