Q

Dystonias:

A

prolonged contraction of muscles during drug initiation, including painful muscle spasms; life-threatening if airway is compromised.

Higher risk with younger males.

Centrally-acting anticholinergics (diphenhydramine, benztropine) can be used for prophylaxis or treatment.

looks similar to Parkinson disease, with tremors, abnormal gait and bradykinesia;

Q

Tardive dyskinesias(TD):

A

abnormal facial movements, primarily in the tongue or mouth;

higher risk with elderly females.

TD can be irreversible.

Must stop the drug and replace with an SGA with low EPSrisk (e.g., quetiapine, clozapine).

Q

FGA or SGA as 1st line?

A

SGAs are used first-line due to a lower incidence of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS),

yet there are many patients who are stabilized on FGAs and in some initial cases, they may be preferable.

Q

IM antipsychotics are often mixed with other drugs (in “cocktails”), such as:

A
  • benzodiazepines for anxiolytic/sedative effects, and
  • anticholinergics to reduce dystonias

(e.g., the “Haldolcocktail” contains haloperidol, lorazepam and diphenhydramine).

Q

Can you give Olanzapine and benzodiazepines together?

A

olanzapine: BBW for sedation/ coma

should not be given together (i.e., in an injection) due to risk of excessive sedation and breathing difficulty.

Q

BBW for antipsychotics and elderly patients with dementia:

A

Antipsychotics are not indicated for agitation control in elderly with dementia-related psychosis.

There is an increased risk of MORTALITY when used for this purpose, mostly due to CARDIOVASCULAR conditions (e.g., heart failure, sudden death) and INFECTION.

Several antipsychotics also carry a warning for an increased risk of STROKE in patients with dementia. All antipsychotics carry a warning for FALLS.

PSYCHOSIS IN PARKINSON DISEASE
1) quetiapine is used to treat psychosis in Parkinson disease because it has a low risk of causing extrapyramidal effects. 2) Pimavanserin (Nuplazid) is approved for psychosis with Parkinson disease. - It is an inverse agonist and antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors and a lesser extent at serotonin 5-HT2Creceptors. - It does not affect dopamine receptors and does not worsen motor symptoms of Parkinson disease.

Pimavanserin
Nuplazid Dose: 34 mg PO daily (two 17mg tablets) WARNINGS - Not approved for dementia-related psychosis. - QT prolongation; avoid use with drugs that also increase the QT interval and in patients with risk factors for prolonged QT interval. SIDE EFFECTS Peripheral edema, confusion.

Cancause: o Drowsiness. o Orthostasis. O Unusual body movements. Symptoms include shakiness, stiffness, or uncontrollable movements of the mouth, tongue, cheeks, jaw, arms or legs. Contact your healthcare provider immediately. Fever, sweating, severe muscle stiffness (rigidity) and confusion. Contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Counsel: Olanzapine, Risperidone, Paliperidone and Quetiapine
■ Can cause hyperglycemia and weight gain.
92
Counsel Clozapine
■ Can cause low white blood cell count; requires monitoring via REMS program.
93
Counsel: Risperidone
■ Risperdaloral solution: - administered directly from the calibrated pipette, or mixed with water, coffee, orange juice or low-fat milk; - it cannot be mixed with cola or tea.
94
Counsel Asenapine Sublingual
■ Can cause tongue numbness.
95
Tardive dyskinesia (TD):
- is a complication that can occur with dopamine receptor blockade, as with anti psychotics. - can cause irreversible symptoms that include uncontrollable movements in the tongue, face, trunk and extremities and can interfere with walking, talking and breathing.
96
what are the 2 drugs approved for TD? MOA?
1) Valbenazine - 1st med approved for TD 2) Deutetrabenazine MOA: - reversibly inhibits vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), - VMAT2: a transporter that regulates monoamine uptake from the cytoplasm to the synaptic vesicle for storage and release.

Valbenazine dose
Start 40 mg PO daily, increase in 1 week to 80 mg PO daily Moderate-severe hepatic impairment: adjustment required CYP2D6 poor metabolizer: consider dose reduction
99
Valbenazine & deutetrabenazine warning
- Somnolence - QT prolongation (avoid in long QT syndrome)
100
Deutetrabenazine brand ? other indication?
Austedo Also approved for chorea associated with Huntington's disease
101
Deutetrabenazine
Start 6 mg PO BID, increase weekly based on response (max 48 mg/day) Concurrent strong CYP2D6 inhibitors or CYP2D6 poor metabolizer: max dose 36 mg/day
102
CI with deutetrabenazine
- Hepatic impairment, - administration with tetrabenazine or valbenazine, - administration with an MAO inhibitor (within 14 days)
103
DDI with VMAT2I
■ Avoid use with MAO inhibitors. ■ Valbenazine and deutetrabenazine are substrates of CYP3A4 and 2D6. Dosereduction is required when given with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., itraconazole, clarithromycin) or 2D6 (e.g., paroxetine, fluoxetine). ■ Valbenazine is a P-gp inhibitor and can increase digoxin concentrations. Dosage adjustment of digoxin may be required.
104
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
It occurs most commonly with the FGAs and is due to D2 blockade. NMS is less common with SGAs and with other dopamine blocking agents, including metoclopramide (Reglan)
105
NMS onset
The majority of cases occur within two weeks of starting treatment or immediately following high doses of injectables given alongside multiple oral doses. Occasionally, patients develop NMS after years of antipsychotic use.
106
NMS signs
NMS is a medical emergency. - Intense muscle contractions can lead to acute renal injury (due to rhabdomyolysis from the destruction of muscle tissue), suffocation and death. Signs ■ Hyperthermia (high fever, with profuse sweating) ■ Extreme muscle rigidity (called "lead pipe" rigidity), which canleadtorespiratory failure ■ Mental status changes ■ Tachycardia, tachypnea and blood pressure changes Laboratory Results ■ inc creatine phosphokinase and inc white blood cells
107
ttmt of nms
Treatment ■ Stop the antipsychotic and provide supportive care: cardiorespiratory and hemodynamic support and manage electrolytes ■ Control the patient's temperature: cooling bed, antipyretics, cooled IV fluids ■ Relaxthe muscles: benzodiazepines, dantrolene (Ryanodex, Dantrium,Revonto)or some cases may require a dopamine agonist (e.g.,bromocriptine) ■ After resolution of the symptoms, consider a different antipsychotic (e.g., quetiapine or clozapine)
