Clozapine and Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms Across Major Psycho=C Disorders - a Review of Three Cases Clozapine and Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms Across Major Psycho=c Disorders - a Review of Three Cases. P.1.g.069 Salta M.1, Mendes S.1, Gamito A.1 1Setúbal Hospital Centre, Setúbal, Portugal Background Clozapine is the single most effecCve drug to treat refractory schizophrenia and other resistant psychiatric disorders presenCng with psychoCc symptoms. In schizophrenia it also demonstrates anC-suicidal effects. Its main acCons are strong serotoninergic antagonism on 5-HT2A, 5-HT1C and 5-HT2C receptors, and less powerful dopaminergic antagonism on D2 and D4 receptors. It also acts on adrenergic, muscarinic and histaminic receptors. These acCons account for its clinical indicaCons but also for its adverse effects. One of these is the emergence of de novo obsessive and compulsive symptoms (OCS), with a prevalence of 20-70% reported in the literature. These are related to the duraCon of treatment and dose prescribed. The cases are mainly reported in schizophrenic but also in schizoaffecCve and bipolar paCents. The mechanism for the OCS is not fully known, but neuroimaging and geneCc studies are being developed to unravel this. Methods and Results The following are the descripCons of the cases of three paCents, the first ones diagnosed with schizophrenia and the other diagnosed with schizoaffecCve disorder, with a long-term follow up in a private pracCce – 15 to 19 years, to whom clozapine was prescribed at a certain point during their treatment, and that developed de novo obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours..

Regular medicaCon: clozapine 200mg + amisulpride 200mg + clonazepam 2mg. Conclusions It is worth noCcing that the paCents had no OCS at presentaCon nor in their premorbid history nor traits or full blown obsessive personality disorder. All developed OCS aWer the introducCon of clozapine to their treatment, seven and two years for the 2 paCents with schizophrenia, and three years for the paCent with schizoaffecCve disorder. The strategies used for each case are according to the ones used in several studies and case reports. Pharmacological therapeuCc opCons include clozapine dose reducCon and/or adding another drug to the treatment, namely, specific serotonin receptor antagonists like sertraline, fluvoxamine or fluoxeCne; a tricyclic anCdepressant like clomipramine; a dopamine and serotonin receptor parCal agonist like aripiprazole – proven to have anC-obsessive potency; a dopamine D2 and D3 receptor antagonist (like amisulpride) or a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker like lamotrigine. The fact that these drugs reduce secondary OCS support the theories about the mechanisms involved in their origin.

How to store Losartan Potassium/Hydrochlorothiazide 6. Contents of the pack and other information 1. What Losartan Potassium/Hydrochlorothiazide is and what it is used for Losartan Potassium/Hydrochlorothiazide is a combination of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (losartan) and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). Angiotensin II is a substance produced in the body which binds to receptors in blood vessels, causing them to tighten. This results in an increase in blood pressure. Losartan prevents the binding of angiotensin II to these receptors, causing the blood vessels to relax which in turn lowers the blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide works by making the kidneys pass more water and salt.

What is the magnitude of metabolic dysregulation (defined as alterations in fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride levels) and alterations in body weight and body mass index associated with short-term (‘acute’) antipsychotic treatment in individuals with schizophrenia? 2. Does baseline physiology (e.g. body weight) and demographics (e.g. age) of patients predict magnitude of antipsychotic-associated metabolic dysregulation? 3. Are alterations in metabolic parameters over time associated with alterations in degree of psychopathology? 1 Searches We plan to search EMBASE, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE from inception using the following terms: 1 (Acepromazine or Acetophenazine or Amisulpride or Aripiprazole or Asenapine or Benperidol or Blonanserin or Bromperidol or Butaperazine or Carpipramine or Chlorproethazine or Chlorpromazine or Chlorprothixene or Clocapramine or Clopenthixol or Clopentixol or Clothiapine or Clotiapine or Clozapine or Cyamemazine or Cyamepromazine or Dixyrazine or Droperidol or Fluanisone or Flupehenazine or Flupenthixol or Flupentixol or Fluphenazine or Fluspirilen or Fluspirilene or Haloperidol or Iloperidone

    European Medicines Agency London, 29 October 2009 EMEA/666243/2009 ISSUE NUMBER: 0910 MONTHLY REPORT PHARMACOVIGILANCE WORKING PARTY (PHVWP) OCTOBER 2009 PLENARY MEETING The CHMP Pharmacovigilance Working Party (PhVWP) held its October 2009 plenary meeting on 19-21 October 2009. PhVWP DISCUSSIONS ON SAFETY CONCERNS Below is a summary of the discussions regarding non-centrally authorised medicinal products in accordance with the PhVWP publication policy (see under http://www.emea.europa.eu/htms/human/phv/reports.htm). Positions agreed by the PhVWP for non- centrally authorised products are recommendations to Member States. For safety updates concerning centrally authorised products and products subject to ongoing CHMP procedures, readers are referred to the CHMP Monthly Report (see under http://www.emea.europa.eu/pressoffice/presshome.htm). The PhVWP provides advice on these products to the Committee of Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) upon its request. Antipsychotics - risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) Identify risk factors for VTE for preventive action before and during treatment with antipsychotics The PhVWP completed their review on the risk of VTE of antipsychotics1. The review was triggered by and based on data from the UK spontaneous adverse drug reactions reporting system and the published literature. The PhVWP carefully considered the data, including the limitations of both information sources, such as the lack of randomised controlled trial data, the heterogeneity of published studies and the potential confounding factors such as sedation and weight gain, commonly present in antipsychotic users. The PhVWP concluded that an association between VTE and antipsychotics cannot be excluded. Distinguishing different risk levels between the various active substances was not possible.

  • Binding of Levomepromazine and Cyamemazine to Human Recombinant Dopamine Receptor Subtypes
    Eur. J. Psychiat. Vol. 23, N.° 3, (147-152) 2009 Keywords: Clozapine; Cyamemazine; Dopamine receptor subtypes; Levomepromazine; Schizophre- nia. Binding of levomepromazine and cyamemazine to human recombinant dopamine receptor subtypes Lalit K. Srivastava*,** Neelakanta P.V. Nair*,** Samarthji Lal*,**,*** * Douglas Mental Health University Institute, Montreal, Quebec ** Department of Psychiatry, McGill University *** Department of Psychiatry, Montreal General Hospital, Montreal, Quebec CANADA ABSTRACT – Background and Objectives: Clozapine (CLOZ) and levomepromazine (LMP) improve treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The superior efficacy of CLOZ com- pared with other antipsychotic agents has been attributed to an effect on D1-like and D4 receptors. We examined the binding of LMP, CLOZ and cyamemazine (CMZ), a neu- roleptic analog of LMP, to human recombinant dopamine (rDA) receptor subtypes. Methods: Binding studies were performed on frozen membrane suspensions of human rDA receptor subtypes expressed in Sf9 cells. Results: (i) LMP has a high affinity (Ki, nM) for rD2 receptor subtypes (rD2L 8.6; rD2S 4.3; rD3 8.3; rD4.2 7.9); (ii) LMP and CLOZ have comparable affinities for the rD1 receptor (54.3 vs 34.6); (iii) CMZ has high affinities for rD2-like and rD1-like receptors (rD2L 4.6; rD2S 3.3; rD3 6.2; rD4.2 8.5; rD1 3.9; rD5 10.7); (iv) CMZ is 9 times more po- tent than CLOZ at the rD1 receptor and 5 times more potent than CLOZ at the rD4.2 re- ceptor; (v) CMZ has high affinities for rD1 and rD5 receptor subtypes compared with LMP and CLOZ. Conclusions: If D1 and D4 receptors are important sites for the unique action of CLOZ, the present study points to a need for clinical trials comparing CMZ with CLOZ in schizophrenia and in particular, treatment-resistant schizophrenia, especially given the risk for agranulocytosis with CLOZ.
