Mode of Action
Zuclopenthixol has high affinity for D1 and D2 receptors and ?-adrenoreceptors. It also has slight antihistamine properties and blocks serotonergic properties.
Precaution
Hepatic and renal impairment, heart disease, recent acute MI, arrhythmias, significant bradycardia (<50 beats/min), severe respiratory disease, epilepsy (and conditions at risk of epilepsy, e.g. alcohol withdrawal or brain damage), Parkinson's disease, acute angle glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, myasthenia gravis, phaeochromocytoma. Patients at risk of stroke and QT interval prolongation. Avoid abrupt withdrawal. Ability to drive a car or operate machinery may be impaired.
Side Effect
Drowsiness, blurred vision, tachycardia, nausea, dizziness, headache, excitement, postural hypotension, hyperprolactinaemia, sexual dysfunction, ECG changes (prolongation of QT interval and T wave changes), hyperthermia. Extrapyramidal symptoms may occur, especially during the early phase of treatment; urinary frequency or incontinence; tardive dyskinesia.
Potentially Fatal: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, blood dyscrasias.
Interaction
Zuclopenthixol may enhance the sedative effects of alcohol and the effects of barbiturates and other CNS depressants. Zuclopenthixol reduces the antihypertensive effect of guanethidine. Concomitant use of metoclopramide and piperazine with zuclopenthixol increases the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms. Increased risk of severe neurotoxicity with lithium and sibutramine. Increased anticholinergic side effects with drugs with anticholinergic properties.
Potentially Fatal: Antagonises effect of apomorphine, levodopa and other dopamine agonists. Increased risk of blood dyscrasias with clozapine. Increased risk of arrhythmias with dugs that prolong QT interval e.g. class Ia and III antiarrhythmics, erythromycin or cause electrolyte disturbances e.g. thiazide diuretics.
