Q

antipsychotics aka?

does what? how?

A

any drug that modifies psychotic behaviors, exhibits antipsychotic effect.

a. largest group of drugs to treat mental illness/improve thought processes/behavior patterns in patients with psychosis
b. Dopaminergic antagonists: They block the actions of dopamine (block the D2 dopaminergic receptor), promoting presence of EPS, resulting in drug induced pseudoparkinsonism in varying degrees.

i. symps incl coma, seizure, tachycardia, dysrhythmia, muscle rigidity, rhabdo, resp failure, acute renal failure, sudden hi fever, AMS, BP fluctuation

Q

what are adverse rxns of typical antipsychotics

A

EPS (pseudoparkinsonism): Like parkinson’s: rigidity, bradykinesia, shuffling, mask face, tremors at rest, stooped posture, pill rolling hands

  1. Early tx with typical antipsys can give 2 other adverse extrapyramidal rxns: dystonia, akathisia
  2. Dystonia: Muscle spasms in face, tongue, neck, back, facial grimace, abnormal/involuntary upward eye movement, laryngeal spasm; 5% of patients get within days.
  3. Akathisia: trouble standing still, restless, pacing, constant motion; occurs in 20% of pts

14
Q

are atypical used more or typical? why?

A

atypical - 2. Used more than typical – less side effects (less likely to cause EPS, incl tardive dyskinesia)
a. Atypicals have weak affinity to D2 receptors and stronger affinity to D4, blocking serotonin receptor

16
Q

atypical adverse rxn?

A

a. Tardive dyskinesia: chewing motion, protrusion and rolling of tongue, sucking/smacking lips, involuntary body movement; occurs in 20-30% of pt taking atypical antipsy more than 1 yr. prevalence higher in smokers and more frequent/severe in older adults. Probability depends on duration/dosage
i. Immediately discontinue antipsychotic drug

17
Q

antipsychotics and older adult?

A

a. Require 25—50% smaller doses than young and middle-aged adults
b. Black-box warning for increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis

18
Q

chlorpromazine hydrochloride

A

alphatic phenothiazine typical antipsychotic

strong sedative, lower BP, may cause moderate EPS effects and orthostatic hypotn.

19
Q

phenothiazines

A

lower seizure threshold, may need dosage adjust

20
Q

aliphatic phenothiazines

A

strong sedative, lower BP, may cause moderate EPS effects and orthostatic hypotn.

21
Q

fluphenazine(prolixin)

A

piperazine phenothiazine typical antipsychotic

tx symps of psychosis/schizo by blocking dopamine receptors in brain.

22
Q

piperazines

A

produce more EPS symps than other phenothiazines > dry mouth, urinary retention, agranulocytosis

23
Q

fluphenazine(prolixin) CI, DFL, ad rxn, SE

A

CI: subcortical brain damage, blood dyscrasia, renal/liver, coma
DFL: etoh/cns depress
ad rxn: HTN, HYPOTN, tachy, EPS, impaired thermoreg, convulsions
SE: sedation, dizzy, headache, dry mouth, congestion, blurry, PHOTOSENSITIVITY, nausea, constipation, URINARY RETNTION, POLYURIA, PERIPHERAL EDEMA

24
Q

fluphenazine(prolixin) and haloperidol(haldol) NI and PT ED

A

NI: monitor VS (ortho hypo), ensure pt takes med, observe for EPS and NMS, monitor urine output (retention), monitor serum glucose
8. Pt ed: take drug as ordered, won’t cure but will lessen symps, may take 6wks for effect, don’t take ETOH or other CNS depressants, get serial labs (monitor WBC every 3mos), no breastfeeding (effect on fetus unknown), no smoking (inc metabolism of some antipsy), don’t abruptly stop
