Pharmacological properties of the drug Vitamin E-zentiva

Alpha tocopherol is the most biologically active of the tocopherols, stable in the form of acetate. In the body, it increases the resistance of cell membranes to damaging factors. Alpha-tocopherol enters the blood mainly with lymph; the maximum concentration of the drug in the blood serum is reached 4–8 hours after oral administration and returns to its original level within 24 hours. Alpha tocopherol is excreted in bile. The concentration of alpha-tocopherol in bile is stable and practically does not change with sharp fluctuations in the concentration of vitamin E in the blood plasma.

Chlorprothixene

When using any antipsychotic, there is a risk of developing neuroleptic malignant syndrome (hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, fluctuation of consciousness, instability of the autonomic nervous system). Patients with pre-existing psychoorganic syndrome, mental retardation, as well as those who abuse opiates and alcohol make up a significant proportion of deaths.

Treatment

: withdrawal of antipsychotic. Symptomatic therapy and general supportive treatment measures. Dantrolene and bromocriptine may be effective. After taking antipsychotics by mouth, symptoms may persist for more than one week.

Patients with rare conditions such as a small anterior chamber and a narrow angle may experience acute attacks of glaucoma due to pupil dilation.

Due to the risk of developing malignant arrhythmias, chlorprothixene should be used with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease and in patients with a family history of long QT interval.

ECG monitoring is necessary before starting treatment. Chlorprothixene is contraindicated if the QTc interval at baseline is more than 450 ms in men and 470 ms in women (see section "Contraindications").

During therapy, the need for ECG monitoring should be assessed by the physician, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient. During treatment, reduce the dosage if the QT interval is prolonged or discontinue therapy if the QTc is > 500 ms.

During treatment, periodic assessment of electrolyte balance is recommended.

The simultaneous use of other antipsychotic drugs should be avoided (see section "Interaction with other drugs").

Like other antipsychotics, chlorprothixene should be used with caution in patients with psychoorganic syndrome, seizures, liver, kidney and cardiovascular diseases in the later stages, as well as patients with myasthenia gravis and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Caution must be exercised when using the drug in patients with

- pheochromocytoma,

- prolactin-dependent tumors,

- severe arterial hypotension or orthostatic dysregulation,

- Parkinson's disease,

- diseases of the hematopoietic system,

- hyperthyroidism,

- urinary problems, urinary retention,

- pyloric stenosis (pyloric stenosis), intestinal obstruction.

Like other psychotropic drugs, chlorprothixene may change the concentration of insulin and glucose in the blood, so patients with diabetes may require dosage adjustments of antidiabetic drugs.

Patients undergoing long-term treatment, especially with high doses, are subject to careful monitoring over time with periodic assessment of the need to reduce the maintenance dose.

Cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE) have been reported while taking antipsychotic drugs. Due to the fact that patients treated with antipsychotic drugs are often at risk for developing VTE, risk factors for VTE should be identified before and during treatment with chlorprothixene and precautions taken.

It has been reported that antipsychotics with α-adrenergic blocking effects may cause priapism; it is possible that chlorprothixene also has this property. If severe priapism occurs, medical intervention may be required.

Patients should be warned about the need to urgently seek medical help if objective and subjective signs of priapism appear.

Use of the drug in children and adolescents under 18 years of age

Chlorprothixene is not recommended for use in adolescent children. A sufficient number of studies have not been conducted to study the effectiveness and safety of the use of chlorprothixene for the treatment of children and adolescents.

Elderly patients

Cerebrovascular adverse reactions

In randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials of certain atypical antipsychotics in patients with dementia, a 3-fold increase in the risk of cerebrovascular adverse reactions was observed. The mechanism for this increased risk is unknown.

An increased risk cannot be ruled out when using other antipsychotics in other groups of patients.

Chlorprothixene should be used with caution in patients at risk of stroke. Elderly individuals are particularly at risk of developing orthostatic hypotension.

Increased mortality in older patients with dementia

Data from two large observational studies showed that older patients with dementia taking antipsychotic drugs had a nonsignificant increased risk of death compared with patients not taking antipsychotic drugs. There is no sufficient data to accurately assess the magnitude of the risk and the reasons for its increase. Chlorprothixene is not registered for the treatment of behavioral disorders in elderly patients with dementia.

Excipients

The appearance of the fracture is that the core is white to almost white.

Pharmacological action: Antipsychotic drug (neuroleptic), thioxanthene derivative.

It has antipsychotic, antidepressant, sedative, antiemetic effects, and has alpha-adrenergic blocking activity.

It is believed that the antipsychotic effect is associated with blockade of postsynaptic dopamine receptors in the brain.

The antiemetic effect is associated with blockade of the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the medulla oblongata.

The sedative effect is due to an indirect weakening of the activity of the reticular system of the brain stem.

Suppresses the release of most hormones of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

However, as a result of blockade of the prolactin inhibitory factor, which inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland, the concentration of prolactin increases.

The chemical structure and pharmacological properties of thioxanthenes are similar to piperazine derivatives of phenothiazine.

Indications for Use: Psychoses and psychotic states accompanied by anxiety, fear, psychomotor agitation, aggressiveness, incl.

with depressive-paranoid, circular schizophrenia, with simple sluggish schizophrenia with psychopathic and neurosis-like symptoms and with other mental illnesses; - dyscirculatory encephalopathy, traumatic brain injury (as part of combination therapy), delirium alcohol; - sleep disturbances in somatic diseases; - necessity long-term therapy of states of excitement and anxiety, psychosomatic, neurotic and behavioral disorders in children; - convulsive cough, spastic conditions in the gastrointestinal tract; - premedication; - dermatoses accompanied by persistent itching; - allergic reactions.

Method of Application: Individual.

For oral administration for adults, the daily dose varies from 10 mg to 600 mg, for children - from 5 mg to 200 mg.

The frequency of administration and duration of treatment are determined by the indications.

Interaction: When used simultaneously with anesthetics, opioid analgesics, sedatives, hypnotics, antipsychotics, ethanol, ethanol-containing drugs, the inhibitory effect on the central nervous system is enhanced.

When used simultaneously with antihypertensive drugs, the hypotensive effect is enhanced.

When used simultaneously with anticholinergic, antihistamine, antiparkinsonian drugs, the anticholinergic effect is enhanced.

When used simultaneously with drugs that cause extrapyramidal reactions, an increase in the frequency and severity of extrapyramidal reactions is possible; with levodopa - the antiparkinsonian effect of levodopa may be inhibited; with lithium carbonate - severe extrapyramidal symptoms and neurotoxic effects are possible.

When used concomitantly with epinephrine, it is possible to block the alpha-adrenergic effects of epinephrine and, as a result, develop severe arterial hypotension and tachycardia.

When used simultaneously with phenothiazines, metoclopramide, haloperidol, reserpine, the development of extrapyramidal disorders is possible; with quinidine - an increased inhibitory effect on the heart is possible.

Side effects: From the central nervous system: - possible psychomotor inhibition, mild extrapyramidal syndrome, increased fatigue, dizziness; - in isolated cases, a paradoxical increase in anxiety is possible, especially in patients with mania or schizophrenia.

From the digestive system: cholestatic jaundice is possible.

From the cardiovascular system: possible tachycardia, ECG changes, orthostatic hypotension.

From the organ of vision: possible clouding of the cornea and lens with visual impairment.

From the hematopoietic system: possible agranulocytosis, leukocytosis, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia.

From the endocrine system: frequent hot flashes, amenorrhea, galactorrhea, gynecomastia, weakened potency and libido are possible.

On the metabolic side: increased sweating, impaired carbohydrate metabolism, increased appetite with increased body weight are possible.

Dermatological reactions: photosensitivity, photodermatitis are possible.

Effects due to anticholinergic action: dry mouth, constipation, accommodation disturbances, dysuria.

Contraindications: CNS depression, incl.

in case of intoxication with alcohol, barbiturates and other drugs that have a depressing effect on the central nervous system, pathological changes in the blood picture, myelodepression, pregnancy, lactation, hypersensitivity to chlorprothixene.

Should not be used in old age.

Overdose: In case of overdose, the following symptoms may occur: hyper- or hypothermia, convulsions, extrapyramidal symptoms, drowsiness, shock or coma.

In case of an overdose of Chlorprothixene, supportive and symptomatic treatment is provided.

Gastric lavage should be done as soon as possible; taking a sorbent is also recommended.

It is necessary to take measures aimed at maintaining the activity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Adrenaline should not be used as it may cause a decrease in blood pressure.

Extrapyramidal disorders can be treated with Biperiden, and seizures with Diazepam.

Special Instructions: Should not be used for epilepsy, a tendency to collapse, parkinsonism, heart defects in the stage of decompensation, tachycardia, cerebral atherosclerosis, severe liver and kidney dysfunction, hematopoietic disorders, cachexia, in old age.

If it is necessary to use chlorprothixene, the risks and benefits of treatment should be compared in patients with chronic alcoholism, diseases of the cardiovascular system (increased risk of developing transient arterial hypotension), Reye's syndrome, as well as glaucoma or a predisposition to it, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, delayed urine, Parkinson's disease, epileptic seizures, hypersensitivity to other thioxanthenes or phenothiazines.

Chlorprothixen Sanofi

Adverse reactions are most often dose-dependent. The frequency and severity of adverse reactions are most pronounced early in treatment and decrease as treatment continues.

Blockade of dopaminergic receptors in the central nervous system can cause acute neurological complications - dystonia, as well as akathisia or extrapyramidal symptoms. Extrapyramidal reactions occur more often in the early stages of treatment. In most cases, these adverse reactions can be adequately controlled by dose reduction and/or use of antiparkinsonian drugs.

Routine prophylactic use of antiparkinsonian drugs is not recommended. Antiparkinsonian medications do not relieve symptoms of tardive dyskinesia and may worsen them. Dose reduction or, if possible, discontinuation of chlorprothixene therapy is recommended. For persistent akathisia, benzodiazepines or propranolol may be effective.

In rare cases, the development of neuroleptic malignant syndrome (hyperthermia, rigidity, akinesia, coma) is possible; in this situation, it is necessary to immediately stop taking chlorprothixene and begin symptomatic treatment in the intensive care unit or the anesthesiology and resuscitation department.

The so-called tardive (chronic - tardive) dyskinesia can occur during long-term use of the drug (especially in patients over 65 years of age) as a symptom of increased sensitivity of the dopaminergic system (unconscious choreoathetoid movements are prognostically unfavorable). Additional use of antipsychotic drugs masks symptoms, so it is necessary to closely monitor the patient's condition.

There is also a fairly high risk of epileptiform seizures.

In rare cases, an increase in anxiety can be observed, especially in patients with manic and schizoaffective disorders (in these cases it is better to switch to treatment with antipsychotics with a rapidly developing effect, for example, haloperidol).

The frequency of adverse reactions listed below was determined according to the World Health Organization classification: very often (≥ 1/10); often (≥ 1/100 and < 1/10); uncommon (≥ 1/1000 and < 1/100); rare (≥ 1/10000 and < 1/1000); very rare (< 1/10000), frequency unknown (cannot be calculated based on available data).

Withdrawal syndrome. The most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, rhinorrhea, sweating, myalgia, paresthesia, insomnia, restlessness, anxiety and agitation. Patients may also experience vertigo, alternating sensations of heat and cold, and tremors of the limbs. Symptoms usually begin within 1-4 days after discontinuation and decrease within 7-14 days.

Interactions of the drug Vitamin E-Zentiva

Vitamin E facilitates the absorption and assimilation of retinol, preventing the development of vitamin A deficiency. At a dose exceeding 10 mg/kg body weight per day, vitamin E reduces the therapeutic effect of iron supplements in children with iron deficiency anemia. In low birth weight infants receiving iron supplements, vitamin E deficiency can cause hemolytic anemia. Vitamin E and its metabolites have an antagonistic effect on vitamin K. In patients taking oral anticoagulants for a long time, prolonged administration of vitamin E may increase the risk of bleeding. Vitamin E can increase the effectiveness of anticonvulsants in patients with epilepsy, in whose blood the concentration of lipid peroxidation products is increased.

special instructions

Chlorprothixene should be prescribed with caution to patients suffering from epilepsy, parkinsonism, with severe cerebral atherosclerosis, with a tendency to collapse, with severe cardiovascular and respiratory failure, with severe impaired liver and kidney function, diabetes mellitus, prostate hypertrophy. The use of Chlorprothixene may lead to a false positive result when conducting an immunobiological urine test for pregnancy, a false increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood, and a change in the QT interval on the electrocardiogram. During treatment with the drug, it is recommended to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages and avoid increased insolation. Effect on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery Taking Chlorprothixene has a negative effect on activities that require a high speed of mental and physical reactions (for example, driving vehicles, servicing machines, working at heights, etc.).

Side effects

From the side of the central nervous system: possible psychomotor inhibition, mild extrapyramidal syndrome, increased fatigue, dizziness; in isolated cases, a paradoxical increase in anxiety is possible, especially in patients with mania or schizophrenia. From the digestive system: cholestatic jaundice is possible. From the cardiovascular system: possible tachycardia, ECG changes, orthostatic hypotension.

Dermatological reactions: photosensitivity, photodermatitis are possible. Effects due to anticholinergic action: dry mouth, constipation, accommodation disturbances, dysuria.

Drug interactions

The inhibitory effect of chlorprothixene on the central nervous system may be enhanced when taken simultaneously with ethanol and ethanol-containing drugs, anesthetics, opioid analgesics, sedatives, hypnotics, and neuroleptics. The anticholinergic effect of chlorprothixene is enhanced by the simultaneous use of anticholinergic, antihistamine and antiparkinsonian drugs. The drug enhances the effect of antihypertensive drugs. The simultaneous use of chlorprothixene and adrenaline can lead to arterial hypotension and tachycardia. The use of chlorprothixene leads to a decrease in the threshold of convulsive activity, which requires additional adjustment of the dose of antiepileptic drugs in patients with epilepsy. The ability of chlorprothixene to block dopamine receptors reduces the effectiveness of levodopa. Extrapyramidal disorders may occur with the simultaneous use of phenothiazines, metoclopramide, haloperidol, and reserpine.

Storage conditions
