Side effects of thiopride tablets

Thiopride is an antipsychotic of the phenylephrine class, which is mainly used for the treatment of chorea, tic-arousal syndrome, geriatric psychomotor disorders, intractable headache, painful spasms, sciatica, joint pain and ethanol intoxication. For alcoholic psychosis, schizophrenia with delayed-onset movement disorder or various pains, thiopride can be the drug of choice. Side effects include insomnia, drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, fatigue, constipation, etc. Individual patients may experience extra-pyramidal symptoms such as tremor, inability to sit still, etc. Occasionally, women may experience temporary amenorrhea and breast milk overflow. The side effects usually disappear on their own when the drug is stopped or reduced. Severe extrapyramidal side effects may occur in highly sensitive patients and may be relieved by anticholinergic therapy such as scopolamine if necessary. Although thiopride is highly effective, less toxic, and well tolerated, side effects should not be underestimated. However, side effects should not be underestimated. If dizziness, weakness, and extrapyramidal symptoms occur during drug administration, prompt consultation with a physician or pharmacist is required. The specific use of medication needs to be combined with the clinical, subject to the guidance of the doctor’s interview.
