Pharmacotherapy of Schizophrenia Flashcards
what are the two main groups of symptoms in schizophrenia?
positive symptoms and negative symptoms
what are positive symptoms of schizo
delusions
hallucinations
disorganized thoughts and behaviors
abnormal motor behavior
what are negative symptoms of schizo
social withdrawal
poor self care
depression
how is smoking related to antipsychotics
associated with induction of 1A2 due to hydrocarbons inhaled which can decrease serum concentrations of 1A2 substrate antipsychotics
what are typical antipsychotics and what is the efficacy
older agents and mostly D2 receptor antagonists
good efficacy for positive symptoms but can worsen negative symptoms
what are the typical antipsychotics
haloperidol
chlopromazine
fluphenazine
perphenazine
loxapine
thioridazine
what is the main side effect of typical antipsychotics
EPS
what is the MOA of atypical antipsychotics
D2 antagonists and 5HT2a antagonists
what are the side effects of atypical antipsychotics
less EPS but more metabolic side effects
what are the 3 types of atypical antipsychotics
Pines
Dones
Partial Agonists
what is the MOA of partial agonists
stabilize dopamine (not too much or too little)
what are the side effects of partial agonists
more akathisia
black box warning for suicidal thoughts/behaviors
what are the 3 partial agonists
aripiprazole
brexpiprazole
cariprazine
what are the warnings for ALL antipsychotics
-Boxed warning for increased risk of death in elderly patients
-metabolic adverse effects
-EPS
-risk for insomnia, hypotension, and increased risk of falls/fractures
Asenapine (dosage, P450, side effect)
-sublingual and patch
-1A2 substrate
-QTc prolongation
what is clozapines p450
1A2 substrate (educate smokers)
what is the boxed warning for clozapine
neutropenia
orthostasis
bradycardia/syncope
seizures
CV issues
what are the side effects of clozapine
lots of weight gain
QTc prolongation
sedation
dry mouth
GI motility
what is the REMS protocol for clozapine
monitor weekly x 6 months
biweekly x 6 months
every 4 weeks indefinitely
Olanzapine p450
1A2 substrate
olanzapine side effects and warnings
significant weight gain and sedation
metabolic syndrome
DRESS warning
what is lybalvi
olanzapine + samidorphan
how does lybalvi work
opioid antagonist w/ preferential activity at the mu opioid receptor. helps decrease the weight gain associated with olanzapine
quetiapine p450
3A4 substrate
quetiapine side effects and warnings
QTc prolongation
weight gain and sedation
boxed warning for suicide
Iloperidone p450
2D6 substrate
Iloperidone side effects
QTc prolongation
high risk for orthostasis and syncope (creates dosing issue)
Lurasidone p450
3A4 substrate
