Core Safety Profile Core Safety Profile Active substance: Zotepine Pharmaceutical form(s)/strength: Por. tbl. obd, 25mg, 50mg, 100mg P-RMS: CZ/H/PSUR/0025/001 Date of FAR: 05.12.2011 4.2 Posology and method of administration Children: /.../ is not recommended for use in children (under 18 years of age). Adults: Doses above 100 mg three times daily are not recommended because they may increase the risk of seizure. Elderly patients and patients with established hepatic and/or renal impairment: The starting dose of /.../ should be reduced to 25 mg twice daily in the elderly and patients with established renal and/or hepatic impairment. Titration should be gradual, based on tolerability and efficacy up to a maximum of 75 mg twice daily. 4.3 Contraindications /.../ should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to zotepine or any of its excipients. /.../ should not be used in patients suffering from acute intoxication with CNS depressants including alcohol. As with other uricosuric agents, due to the increased risk of renal stone formation, /.../ should not be used in patients with acute gout. Nursing mothers taking /.../ should not breast-feed. 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use Increased Mortality in Elderly people with Dementia An approximately 3-fold increased risk of cerebrovascular adverse events have been seen in randomised placebo controlled clinical trials in the dementia population with some atypical antipsychotics. The mechanism for this increased risk is not known. An increased risk cannot be excluded for other antipsychotics or other patient populations. /.../ should be used with caution in patients with risk factors for stroke. /.../ is known to lower the seizure threshold and PMS data have shown a clear dose-related proconvulsive effect. /.../ should not be used to treat patients with a personal or close family history of epilepsy unless the individual benefit outweighs the risk. Data from controlled clinical trials indicate that the seizure rate associated with /.../treatment when used up to a maximum total daily dose of 300 mg is about 1%. At total daily doses above the recommended maximum of 300 mg there is an appreciable increase in the incidence of seizures. It is therefore recommended that total daily doses above 300 mg are not used. High doses of other antipsychotics should not be co-prescribed with zotepine as this may further lower the seizure threshold. Caution should be exercised when withdrawing concomitantly prescribed CNS depressants. Clinical trials showed a dose related QTc interval prolongation. Caution is therefore advised in relation to the use of /.../ in patients at risk of arrhythmias such as patients with coronary heart disease, patients taking other drugs known to cause QTc prolongation or those at risk of hypokalaemia. When 2/7 treating patients from these groups, it is recommended that an ECG is performed prior to initiation of treatment, to enable the exclusion of those patients with a pre-existing QTc prolongation. In addition to measuring the ECG prior to treatment, electrolytes should also be measured (calcium, potassium and sodium) and any imbalances corrected and periodically monitored, particularly at each dose escalation. Further ECG monitoring should be carried out at each dose escalation. /.../ is associated with an increase in heart rate and should be used with caution in patients who suffer from angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. Cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE) have been reported with antipsychotic drugs. Since patients treated with antipsychotics often present with acquired risk factors for VTE, all possible risk factors for VTE should be identified before and during treatment with /.../ and preventive measures undertaken In common with other antipsychotics isolated reports of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) have occurred during treatment with /.../. This potentially fatal syndrome includes muscle rigidity, stupor, hyperpyrexia, labile pulse or blood pressure, elevation of plasma creatine kinase, myoglobinaemia and acute renal failure. If NMS occurs all antipsychotic drugs including /.../ should be discontinued immediately and expert advice sought. As with all compounds that possess 1-adrenergic blocking properties, /.../ may cause orthostatic hypotension, especially during initiation of therapy and increase in dosage. Patients should be advised to rise slowly from the recumbent position and blood pressure should be measured periodically as with other antipsychotics. A dose reduction or more gradual titration should be considered if orthostatic hypotension occurs. Anaesthesia may increase the risk of hypotension. /.../ should be used with caution in patients with known severe cardiovascular disease including severe hypertension or severely restricted cardiac output. As with other antipsychotic drugs a reduction in white cell count can occur. Extensive clinical usage of /.../ suggests that this poses minimal risk to patient safety. If a reduction in white cell count is suspected (e.g. infection) then a white cell count should be performed and specialist advice sought if appropriate. Caution should be exercised when prescribing /.../ to patients with established hepatic impairment. Weekly monitoring of Liver Function Tests is recommended for at least the first 3 months of therapy in patients with hepatic impairment. A lower starting dose, gradual titration and a reduced maximum daily dose should be used in the elderly, renally or hepatically impaired patients (See Section 4.2). As with other antipsychotics, patients should be advised of the possibility for weight gain and given dietary advice. Isolated reports of tardive dyskinesia have occurred during clinical trials and marketing experience but no causality has been established. If tardive 3/7 dyskinesia does occur the discontinuation or reduction in dose of all antipsychotic drugs should be considered. Acute withdrawal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, sweating and insomnia, have been described after abrupt cessation of antipsychotic drugs. Recurrence of psychotic symptoms may also occur, and the emergence of involuntary movement disorders (such as akathisia, dystonia and dyskinesia) has been reported. Therefore gradual withdrawal is advisable. /.../ possesses anticholinergic properties and should be used with caution in patients with prostatic hypertrophy, retention of urine, narrow angle glaucoma and paralytic ileus. /.../ has uricosuric properties and thus, in the unlikely event of treating a patient with a history of gout or hyperuricaemia, /.../ should be started with care, maintaining a good urine output until serum uric acid returns to normal levels. As with all uricosurics, /.../ should not be started within three weeks of the resolution of an episode of acute gout. There is a theoretical risk of increased urate renal stone formation and /.../ should not be used in patients with a history of nephrolithiasis. In practice this risk appears to be low. As with other antipsychotics, thermoregulation of the body may be adversely affected by treatment with /.../ giving rise to hyperpyrexia or hypothermia. Theoretically /.../ may cause a deterioration in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Caution should be exercised in treating patients with tumours of the adrenal medulla, e.g. phaeochromocytoma or neuroblastoma. /.../ contains glucose and sucrose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption or sucrase-isomaltase insufficiency should not take this medicine. /.../ contains lactose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactose deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine. 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction /.../ is a CNS depressant, therefore it should be used with caution in combination with other CNS depressant drugs. Antipsychotics are known to lower the seizure threshold and PMS data for /.../ have shown a clear dose- related proconvulsive effect. If co-prescription of high doses of other antipsychotics is considered necessary, the prescriber should be aware that this may further lower the seizure threshold. As /.../ possesses significant α1-blocking properties, caution should be exercised when it is co prescribed with hypotensive agents, including some anaesthetic agents. Through its effect on α adrenoceptors, the simultaneous administration of adrenaline may lead to a fall in blood pressure. Theoretically the effects of α methyldopa, guanethidine and clonidine may be reduced. 4/7 In a desipramine co-administration study no clinical interaction was found with respect to the CYP 2D6 isoenzyme suggesting that antidepressants and other drugs dependent on this isoenzyme are unlikely to interact with /.../. Co-administration with fluoxetine or diazepam leads to increased plasma concentrations of zotepine and norzotepine, and caution is advised when these drugs are co-prescribed. No specific clinical interaction studies have been conducted with anticonvulsants or lithium. Food taken with a single oral dose of /.../ delayed by 30% the appearance of /.../ in plasma but had no effect on the extent of absorption of /.../; the effect of food is unlikely to be significant on chronic administration. 4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation Use in Pregnancy: The drug plasma concentrations (AUC) in the animal reproduction studies were generally lower than those seen in patients. Whilst animal studies have shown no teratogenic effects in rats

  • Data Sheet SURMONTIL Trimipramine (As Maleate) 25 Mg Tablets and 50 Mg Capsules
    Data Sheet SURMONTIL trimipramine (as maleate) 25 mg tablets and 50 mg capsules Presentation SURMONTIL tablets are compression coated, white or cream, circular, biconvex, containing the equivalent of 25mg trimipramine (as maleate) with a diameter of about 8.0mm. The face is indented with the name and strength, reverse plain. SURMONTIL capsules are opaque white with opaque green cap, printed SU50, each containing the equivalent of 50mg trimipramine (as maleate). Uses Actions SURMONTIL has a potent anti-depressant action similar to that of other tricyclic anti-depressants. The mechanism of action is not fully understood but it is thought to be via inhibition of neuronal re- uptake of noradrenalin, thereby increasing availability. SURMONTIL also possesses a pronounced sedative action. Pharmacokinetics SURMONTIL is readily absorbed after oral administration, reaching a mean peak plasma level after 3 hours. High first pass hepatic clearance results in a mean bioavailability of about 41% of the oral dose, and trimipramine is extensively protein bound in plasma. Elimination half-life is 24 hours. Metabolism is in the liver to its major metabolite, desmethyltrimipramine, which is excreted mainly in the urine. Indications SURMONTIL is indicated in the treatment of depressive illness, especially where sleep disturbance, anxiety or agitation is a presenting symptom. Sleep disturbance is controlled within 24 hours and true anti-depressant action follows within 7-10 days. Dosage and Administration Adults Mild/Moderate Depression in General Practice: The recommended dosage is 50-75 mg orally given two hours before bedtime, the larger dose (75 mg) being preferable for those patients with more marked sleep disturbance.

Effects of sympathetic inhibition on receptive, proceptive, and rejection behaviors in the female rat. PHYSIOL BEHAV 59(3) 537-542, 1996.--The present investigation was designed to examine the effects of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) inhibition on sexual behavior in ovariec- tomized, steroid-treated female rats. Clonidine, an alpha2-adrenergic agonist, guanethidine, a postganglionic noradren- ergic blocker, and naphazoline, an alpha2-adrenoreceptor agonist were used to inhibit SNS activity. Intraperitoneal injections of eit:aer 33/zg/ml or 66/xg/ml clonidine significantly decreased receptive (lordosis) and proceptive (ear wiggles) behaviors and significantly increased rejection behaviors (vocalization, kicking, boxing). Either 25 mg/ml or 50 mg/ml guanethidine significantly decreased receptive and proceptive behavior and had no significant effect on rejection behav!iors. Naphazoline significantly inhibited lordosis behavior at either 5 mg/ml or 10 mg/ml doses, significantly inhibited proceptive behavior at 5 mg/ml, and had no significant effect on rejection behaviors. These findings supporc the hypothesis that SNS inhibition decreases sexual activity in the female rat. Lordosis Proceptive behavior Rejection behavior Clonidine Guanethidine Naphazoline Alpha-adrenergic INTRODUCTION as 2 /xg/animal also inhibits lordosis behavior (1).

  • How CATIE Brought Us Back to Kansas: a Critical Re-Evaluation of the Concept of Atypical Antipsychotics and Their Place In
    Advances in Psychiatric Treatment (2008), vol. 14, 17–28 doi: 10.1192/apt.bp.107.003970 How CATIE brought us back to Kansas: a critical re-evaluation of the concept of atypical antipsychotics and their place in the treatment of schizophrenia David Cunningham Owens Abstract The subdivision of the class of antipsychotic drugs into two discrete groups – ‘conventional’ (or first generation) and ‘atypical’ (or second generation) – has been adopted as standard, with the latter generally accepted as ‘better’ and widely recommended as automatic first-line choices. However, this perception has been thrown into confusion with the results of large pragmatic trials that failed to identify advantages with the new, more expensive drugs, while identifying worrying tolerability issues. This article explores the origins of ‘atypicality’, its construction on the back of a confusing and weak clinical validator (diminished liability to promote parkinsonism) and how even in relation to the archetypical atypical, clozapine, the uncertain boundaries of drug-induced extrapyramidal dysfunction may be contributing to confusion about ‘efficacy’ and ‘tolerability’. It argues that abandoning atypicality would open up clinical practice to all drugs of a single class of ‘antipsychotics’ and allow for individualised risk/benefit appraisal as a basis for truly tailored treatment recommendations. Sometimes, the best way forward is back – to take This article raises fundamental questions about stock, appraise anew, admit mistakes. This is never our understanding of the clinical pharmacology easy, especially if shadows haunt the way but, if of antipsychotic drugs – so fundamental that (as necessary, is better undertaken sooner than later – numerous publication rejections attest) they were and with honesty.

Baum & Angelika Bischof Delaloye & Lorenzo Maffioli & Roy Moncayo & Luc Mortelmans & Giovanna Pepe & Sven N. Reske & Maria R. Castellani & Arturo Chiti Published online: 20 July 2010 # EANM 2010 Abstract The aim of this document is to provide general existing procedures for neuroendocrine tumours. The information about mIBG scintigraphy in cancer patients. guidelines should therefore not be taken as exclusive of The guidelines describe the mIBG scintigraphy protocol other nuclear medicine modalities that can be used to obtain currently used in clinical routine, but do not include all comparable results. It is important to remember that the The European Association has written and approved guidelines to promote the use of nuclear medicine procedures with high quality. These general recommendations cannot be applied to all patients in all practice settings. The guidelines should not be deemed inclusive of all proper procedures and exclusive of other procedures reasonably directed to obtaining the same results. The spectrum of patients seen in a specialized practice setting may be different than the spectrum usually seen in a more general setting. The appropriateness of a procedure will depend in part on the prevalence of disease in the patient population. In addition, resources available for patient care may vary greatly from one European country or one medical facility to another. For these reasons, guidelines cannot be rigidly applied. These guidelines summarize the views of the Oncology Committee of the EANM and reflect recommendations for which the EANM cannot be held responsible.

Purpose for Class Update: Several new antipsychotic drug products have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since these drug classes were last reviewed by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. Research Questions: 1. Is there new comparative evidence of meaningful difference in efficacy or effectiveness outcomes for schizophrenia, bipolar mania or major depressive disorders (MDD) between oral antipsychotic agents (first‐ or second‐generation) or between parenteral antipsychotic agents (first‐ or second‐generation)? 2. Is there new comparative evidence of meaningful difference in harms between oral antipsychotic agents (first‐ or second‐generation) or between parenteral antipsychotic agents (first‐ or second‐generation)? 3. Is there new comparative evidence of meaningful difference in effectiveness or harms in certain subpopulations based on demographic characteristics? Conclusions: There is insufficient evidence of clinically meaningful differences between antipsychotic agents in efficacy or effectiveness or harms between antipsychotic agents for schizophrenia, bipolar mania or MDD. There is insufficient evidence to determine if brexpiprazole and cariprazine offer superior efficacy or safety to other antipsychotic agents for schizophrenia. There is insufficient evidence to determine if brexpiprazole offers superior efficacy or safety to other antipsychotic agents for MDD.

  • Effects of Subchronic Administrations of Vortioxetine, Lurasidone, And
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article Effects of Subchronic Administrations of Vortioxetine, Lurasidone, and Escitalopram on Thalamocortical Glutamatergic Transmission Associated with Serotonin 5-HT7 Receptor Motohiro Okada * , Ryusuke Matsumoto, Yoshimasa Yamamoto and Kouji Fukuyama Department of Neuropsychiatry, Division of Neuroscience, Graduate School of Medicine, Mie University, Tsu 514-8507, Japan; [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (Y.Y.); [email protected] (K.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-59-231-5018 Abstract: The functional suppression of serotonin (5-HT) type 7 receptor (5-HT7R) is forming a basis for scientific discussion in psychopharmacology due to its rapid-acting antidepressant-like action. A novel mood-stabilizing atypical antipsychotic agent, lurasidone, exhibits a unique receptor-binding profile, including a high affinity for 5-HT7R antagonism. A member of a novel class of antidepres- sants, vortioxetine, which is a serotonin partial agonist reuptake inhibitor (SPARI), also exhibits a higher affinity for serotonin transporter, serotonin receptors type 1A (5-HT1AR) and type 3 (5-HT3R), and 5-HT7R. However, the effects of chronic administration of lurasidone, vortioxetine, and the selec- Citation: Okada, M.; Matsumoto, R.; tive serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), escitalopram, on 5-HT7R function remained to be clarified. Yamamoto, Y.; Fukuyama, K. Effects Thus, to explore the mechanisms underlying the clinical effects of vortioxetine, escitalopram, and of Subchronic Administrations of lurasidone, the present study determined the effects of these agents on thalamocortical glutamatergic Vortioxetine, Lurasidone, and transmission, which contributes to emotional/mood perception, using multiprobe microdialysis Escitalopram on Thalamocortical and 5-HT7R expression using capillary immunoblotting.
