Moban Dosage information (more detail)

Before Taking

You should not use Moban if you are allergic to it, or:

  • if you have decreased alertness caused by taking certain medications or drinking alcohol.

Moban may increase the risk of death in older adults with dementia-related psychosis and is not approved for this use.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • epilepsy or other seizure disorder;

  • low white blood cell (WBC) counts;

  • urination problems; or

  • breast cancer.

Taking antipsychotic medicine in the last 3 months of pregnancy may cause breathing problems, feeding problems, or withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. If you get pregnant, tell your doctor right away. Do not stop taking Moban without your doctor's advice.

It is not known whether molindone passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

It may not be safe to breastfeed while using Moban. Ask your doctor about any risk.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at one time.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

What should I avoid while using Moban?

Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death could occur.

Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Moban will affect you. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Dizziness or drowsiness can cause falls, accidents, or severe injuries.

Moban side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

High doses or long-term use of molindone can cause a serious movement disorder that may not be reversible. The longer you use Moban, the more likely you are to develop this disorder, especially if you are a woman or an older adult.

Moban may cause serious side effects. Call your doctor at once if you have:

  • any new or unusual muscle movements you cannot control;

  • tremor (uncontrolled shaking);

  • trouble breathing or swallowing;

  • a seizure (convulsions);

  • (in women) irregular menstrual periods, breast or vaginal changes, nipple discharge;

  • (in men) breast swelling, impotence;

  • severe nervous system reaction--very stiff (rigid) muscles, high fever, sweating, confusion, fast or uneven heartbeats, tremors, feeling like you might pass out; or

  • low white blood cell counts--fever, chills, mouth sores, skin sores, sore throat, cough, trouble breathing.

Common side effects of Moban may include:

  • drowsiness;

  • fast heart rate, feeling restless or nevous, being unable to sit still;

  • blurred vision;

  • dry mouth;

  • little or no urination;

  • nausea, constipation;

  • breast swelling or discharge;

  • impotence, sexual problems; or

  • changes in your menstrual periods.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What other drugs will affect Moban?

Taking Moban with other drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing can cause dangerous side effects or death. Ask your doctor before using opioid medication, a sleeping pill, a muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety or seizures.

Tell your doctor about all your other medicines, especially:

  • phenytoin; or

  • an antibiotic such as demeclocycline, doxycycline, minocycline, or tetracycline.

This list is not complete. Other drugs may affect Moban, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible drug interactions are listed here.
