Amisulpride 200mg SR Tablets
SKU GME1042Product Introduction
Amisulpride 200mg is a sustained-release antipsychotic for schizophrenia, including hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking and negative symptoms such as reduced motivation or social withdrawal. Its release pattern supports prolonged delivery of amisulpride during maintenance treatment.
How to use
Swallow the sustained-release tablet whole with water at a consistent time each day. Do not crush or chew it. Keep the same meal timing from day to day. A change from conventional tablets requires attention to both the total daily amount and the release formulation.
How it works
Amisulpride acts mainly at dopamine D2 and D3 receptors. Its effects on dopamine signalling help reduce psychotic symptoms; the balance of effects differs with the dose and the symptom pattern being treated.
Side effects
Restlessness, tremor, muscle stiffness, sleepiness, constipation, weight gain and raised prolactin may occur. High fever with rigid muscles and confusion, fainting with palpitations or a new involuntary movement needs urgent assessment.
Important information
Kidney function affects how quickly the medicine leaves the body. Tell your doctor about seizures, diabetes, a slow heartbeat, low potassium or magnesium, and prolactin-sensitive tumours. Levodopa and medicines that prolong the QT interval can create important interactions. Blood glucose, weight and movement symptoms are monitored during treatment.
Uses
- Management of positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
Benefits
Can reduce distressing perceptual or thinking symptoms and help engagement in daily life. Improvement in motivation or social withdrawal may take longer than improvement in agitation or hallucinations.
Can this medicine affect menstrual periods or sexual function?
It can raise prolactin, which may cause missed periods, milk production, breast changes or sexual difficulties. These effects can occur even when psychiatric symptoms are improving.
Is restlessness always a sign that schizophrenia is worsening?
No. An uncomfortable urge to keep moving can be akathisia, a medicine-related movement effect. Describing when it began helps distinguish it from anxiety or agitation.
Can I drink alcohol while taking amisulpride?
Alcohol can increase sedation and impair coordination or judgement. Avoid it while taking this medicine.
Why does kidney function matter for the dose?
Amisulpride is largely cleared through the kidneys. Reduced clearance can raise drug exposure, so a lower daily amount or different dosing interval may be needed.
