Classification: Antipsychotic drug Action/Kinetics: Mechanism unknown but may act as an antagonist at dopamine D 2 and serotonin 5HT 2 receptors. Side effects may be due to antagonism of other receptors (e.g., histamine H 1, dopamine D 1, adrenergic alpha-1 and alpha-2, serotonin 5HT 1A). Rapidly absorbed. Peak plasma levels: 1.5 hr. Metabolized by liver and excreted through urine and feces. t 1/2, terminal: About 6 hr. Uses: Management of psychoses. Contraindications: Lactation. Special Concerns: Use with caution in liver disease, in those at risk for aspiration pneumonia, and in those with history of seizures or conditions that lower seizure threshold (e.g., Alzheimer's). Safety and efficacy have not been determined in children. Side Effects: Side effects with incidence of 1% or more are listed. Body as a whole: Asthenia, rash, fever, weight gain, back pain, flu syndrome. CNS: Headache, somnolence, dizziness, hypertonia, dysarthria. GI: Constipation, dry mouth, dyspepsia, anorexia, abdominal pain. CV: Orthostatic hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, palpitation. Respiratory: Pharyngitis, rhinitis, increased cough, dyspnea. Miscellaneous: Peripheral edema, hyperprolactinemia, sweating, leukopenia, ear pain. NOTE: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and seizures although rare, may occur. Laboratory Test Alterations: ALT during initial therapy, AST, total cholesterol, triglycerides. Overdose Management: Symptoms: Drowsiness, sedation, tachycardia, hypotension, dystonic reaction of the head and neck, seizures, obtundation. Treatment: Cardiovascular monitoring for arrhythmias. If antiarrhythmic therapy is used, disopyramide, procainamide, and quinidine increase risk of prolongation of QT. Treat hypotension and circulatory shock with IV fluids or sympathomimetic drugs (do not use epinephrine or dopamine as they may worsen hypotension). Use anticholinergic drugs to treat severe extrapyramidal symptoms.
