GEODON is not recommended for use if you have the following medical conditions: heart problems (e.g., QT prolongation, arrhythmias, recent heart attack, heart failure). GEODON may make you dizzy or drowsy; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Limit alcoholic beverages. To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position. Caution is advised when using GEODON in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects of the drug. GEODON should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is not known whether GEODON passes into breast milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using GEODON is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
