Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I previously was on ziprasidone and I quit taking it because the mail order sent me a capsule that was translucent purple and I found a picture of the capsule and it was used for menopause women I subsequently was hospitalized and the doctors thought the ziprasidone was no longer effective and I am no on a 4 week injection which has side effects what recourse do I have?
Pain, swelling and redness at the injection site may occur. Drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and headache may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.
Dizziness and lightheadedness can increase the risk of falling. Incase of dizziness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards Dr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
