Buy Fanapt

Fanapt (iloperidone) is an atypical antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and manic or mixed episodes caused by bipolar disorder in adults. It contains iloperidone, which affects the balance of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin. Fanapt helps to reduce symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.

Your doctor may prescribe Fanapt if you require treatment for schizophrenia. It is typically used when other ineffective medications have caused intolerable side effects. Fanapt is usually taken twice daily.
