Clinical Pharmacology

Clopixol Depot - antipsychotic (neuroleptic), a derivative of thioxanthene.

Clopixol has a pronounced antipsychotic and specific inhibitory effect. Clopixol may also have a transient, dose-dependent sedative effect, the rapid development of which at the beginning of therapy (before the onset of antipsychotic action) is an advantage in the treatment of acute and sub-acute psychoses.

Tolerance to the nonspecific sedative effect of the drug comes quickly.

Due to the specific inhibitory effect of the drug is especially indicated for agitation, anxiety, hostility or aggressiveness.

The therapeutic effect of Clopixol Depot is significantly more prolonged compared to Clopixol. This allows you to confidently carry out continuous antipsychotic treatment with Clopixol Depot, which is especially important for patients who do not perform medical appointments.

Clopixol depot prevents the development of frequent relapses associated with the voluntary interruption of oral medication by patients.

Indications

Acute and chronic schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, especially with hallucinations, paranoid delusions and thinking disorders, as well as a state of agitation, increased anxiety, hostility or aggressiveness.

Doses of the drug should be selected individually depending on the patient's condition. As a rule, small doses should initially be used, which are then rapidly increased to the optimal effective level depending on the clinical effect.

Acute attack of schizophrenia, other acute psychotic disorders; pronounced agitation and mania. Usually 10-50 mg / day.
In severe disorders and conditions of moderate severity, the initial dose of 20 mg / day may, if necessary, be increased by 10-20 mg in 2-3 days to 75 mg per day or more.

Adverse reactions

From the nervous system. Extrapyramidal symptoms may develop, especially at the initial stage of treatment. In most cases, they are corrected by reducing the dosages and / or prescription of anti-parkinsonian drugs. However, regular prophylactic use of the latter is not recommended. In rare cases, long-term therapy in patients may develop tardive dyskinesia. Antiparkinsonic drugs do not eliminate its symptoms. A reduction in dosage or, if possible, discontinuation of therapy is recommended.
From the side of mental activity. Drowsiness at the initial stage.
On the part of the autonomic nervous system and the cardiovascular system. Dry mouth, disturbed accommodation, urinary retention, constipation, tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension and dizziness.
Liver. Minor, transient changes in hepatic samples are rarely observed.

Contraindications

Acute poisoning by alcohol, barbiturates, opiates; coma.

Drug interactions

Chemically incompatible combinations not established. Clopixol can increase the sedative effects of alcohol, barbiturates and other central nervous system inhibitors. Clopixol should not be prescribed together with guanethidine and similarly acting means, since antipsychotics can block their hypotensive action. Clopixol can reduce the effectiveness of levodopa and other adrenergic agents, and a combination with metoclopramide and piperazine increases the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Contraindicated. Nursing mothers should stop breastfeeding.
