Indikasjoner:

For control of severe nausea and vomiting. For the treatment of schizophrenia. Prochlorperazine is effective for the short-term treatment of generalized non-psychotic anxiety. However, prochlorperazine is not the first drug to be used in therapy for most patients with non-psychotic anxiety, because certain risks associated with its use are not shared by common alternative treatments (e.g., benzodiazepines). When used in the treatment of non-psychotic anxiety, prochlorperazine should not be administered at doses of more than 20 mg per day or for longer than 12 weeks, because the use of prochlorperazine at higher doses or for longer intervals may cause persistent tardive dyskinesia that may prove irreversible (see WARNINGS ). The effectiveness of prochlorperazine as treatment for non-psychotic anxiety was established in 4-week clinical studies of outpatients with generalized anxiety disorder. This evidence does not predict that prochlorperazine will be useful in patients with other non-psychoti

WARNING
INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-RELATED
PSYCHOSIS
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with
antipsychotic drugs
are at an increased risk of death. Analyses of seventeen
placebo-controlled trials
(modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical
antipsychotic
drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between
1.6 to 1.7 times
the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a
typical 10-week
controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about
4.5%
compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the
causes of
death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either
cardiovascular (e.g.,
heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., pneumonia) in
nature. Observational
studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs,
treatment with
conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to
which the
findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be
attributed to the
antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the
patients is not
clear. Prochlorperazine maleate is not approved for the treatment of
patients with
dementia-related psychosis (see WARNINGS).
