piportil-ccsiv1-dsv7-18jan17 1 DATASHEET PIPORTIL _ _ NAME OF THE MEDICINE Pipothiazine palmitate 50 mg/ml injection PRESENTATION Injection (in sesame oil) 50 mg/ml; straw-coloured viscous liquid. USES _ACTIONS _ Pipothiazine palmitate is an oil-soluble ester of pipothiazine, a piperidine-type phenothiazine. The esterification of pipothiazine is responsible for its prolonged duration of action on deep intramuscular injection there is slow diffusion of the ester from the oily depot into tissue where it is hydrolysed to the active parent drug, pipothiazine. PIPORTIL DEPOT possesses a wide range of antipsychotic activity, a weak sedative action, a high degree of tolerance, and an average duration of action of 4 weeks. It has a potent activity against the major symptoms of chronic schizophrenia such as hallucinations and delusions, and is also effective against negative symptoms such as emotional withdrawal, unco-operativeness and other residual symptoms which interfere with social integration. The onset of action appears usually within 2 to 3 days after injection and the effects of the medicine on psychotic symptoms may be noted within 2 weeks. Improvement in symptomatology lasts from 3 to 6 weeks, but adequate control is frequently maintained with one injection every 4 weeks. However, in view of the variations in individual response, careful supervision is required throughout treatment. _ _ _PHARMACOKINETICS _ There is little information about blood levels, distribution and excretion in humans. The rate of metabolism and excretion of phenothiazines decreases in old age. INDICATIONS PIPORTIL DEPOT is a long-acting phenothiazine neuroleptic indicated for the maintenance treatment of schizophrenia and paranoid psychoses, and prevention of relapse, especially where compliance with oral medication is a problem. CONTRAINDICATIONS PIPORTIL DEPOT should not be administered to patients in comatose states or with marked cerebral atherosclerosis, phaeochromocytoma, renal or liver failure, severe cardiac insufficiency or hyper Soma hati kamili
