Actual product may differ in appearance from image shown.
Blonitas is a generic form of blonanserin, an atypical antipsychotic primarily used for schizophrenia. It helps reduce core symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, suspiciousness, agitation, and disorganized thinking by modulating dopamine and serotonin signaling in the brain. Many patients aim for improved social functioning, clearer cognition, and steadier mood during continuous therapy.
Typical effects are not instant - benefits often build gradually over days to weeks, and consistent dosing is important for stable symptom control. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, nausea, and weight changes; some people may experience restlessness or sleep disturbances.
Rare but serious risks can include movement-related symptoms (tremor, stiffness), significant sedation, or changes in blood pressure, especially when combined with alcohol or sedatives. Use requires medical supervision, particularly for people with heart rhythm issues, liver impairment, or a history of seizures.
