Use a full glass of water to swallow the tablet.

Arcalion Tablet may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, anxiety, tremors, insomnia, skin rash, and asthenia. If these symptoms persist, medical advice is recommended.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Arcalion Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Nausea/Vomiting: Consider taking Arcalion Tablet with a meal to lessen these effects.
Insomnia: Avoid taking this medicine close to bedtime; taking it in the morning might reduce sleep disturbances.
Arcalion Tablet contains Sulbutiamine (200 mg), which acts on the body as follows:
Thiamine Enhancement: Sulbutiamine increases the levels of thiamine in the brain, more effectively than thiamine itself. Thiamine is a vitamin that is important for nerve function and energy production.
Cholinergic Effects: It exhibits cholinergic effects, which could potentially improve memory. Cholinergic effects refer to the actions involved in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which plays a key role in memory and learning.
Mild Psychostimulant Properties: Sulbutiamine has mild psychostimulant properties. Psychostimulants are substances that can temporarily "speed up" mental or physical functions.
Anion Channel Activation: It is thought to activate large-conductance anion channels in neuronal membranes. This refers to the opening of channels on nerve cells, which allows negatively charged particles (anions) to pass through, affecting nerve cell activity.
Caution is advised while taking Arcalion Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Safety of Arcalion Tablet during lactation is not well-studied. Consult your doctor before using this medication if you are nursing.
