PRODUCT DETAILS
About Welenuf 10mg Sublingual tablet
ASENAPINE belongs to a group of medicines called 'antipsychotics' used to treat schizophrenia and manic depression (or bipolar disorder). Schizophrenia is a mental condition in which the person may feel, hear or see things that are not there, believe things that are not true, feel unusually suspicious or confused. Manic depression or bipolar disorder is a serious brain disorder in which a person experiences extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behaviours changes.
ASENAPINE contains 'Asenapine' that works by blocking the effects of chemical messengers in the brain (i.e. dopamine and serotonin), thereby helps in improving mood, behaviour and thoughts. ASENAPINE elevates the disease's symptoms and prevents them from coming back. ASENAPINE treats schizophrenia and bipolar disorder who are at least 18 years of age.

In-Depth Precautions and Warning
Drug Warnings
Do not take ASENAPINE if you are allergic to Asenapine or any of its contents. Do not take ASENAPINE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed. ASENAPINE causes drowsiness and dizziness, do not drive unless you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ASENAPINE as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Rise slowly from sitting or lying position as ASENAPINE causes orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering in blood pressure leading to dizziness on standing). Inform your doctor before taking ASENAPINE if you have diabetes as ASENAPINE can cause an increase in blood sugar levels. ASENAPINE may not be suitable for people with a history of prolactin-dependant breast cancer as ASENAPINE increases prolactin levels. ASENAPINE should not be used in adults to treat dementia-related psychosis. ASENAPINE is not recommended for use in patients below the age of 18 years. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. Some medicines may reduce or increase the effect of ASENAPINE.
