About Geodon^® (ziprasidone HCl)

GEODON is used to help treat the symptoms of schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is a brain disease. It can be hard on both those who have it and their loved ones. Scientists are still studying its causes and how to treat it.

No medicine works the same for everyone, and no medicine can treat all of the symptoms all the time. But GEODON should:

• Improve your understanding of what is real and what is not
• Help you feel similar to other people
• Help you feel less lonely and removed from others
• Help you feel more hopeful and happy
• Allow you to think and express yourself more clearly

GEODON may not be right for all patients. Only you and your doctor can tell if it is right for you. Please be sure to talk about GEODON with your doctor.
