Quetiapine



The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee met February 20, 2001. 3 drugs or dosage forms were added in the Formulary and 2 drugs or dosage forms were deleted. x ADDED factor 9 concentrate, human-derived Mononine by Aventis-Behring ; quetiapine Seroquel by Astra Zeneca ; tramadol Ultram by Ortho McNeil ; x DELETED disulfiram Antabuse by Odyssey ; factor 9 concentrate, human-derived AlphaNine SD by Alpha ; Mononine and AlphaNine SD are human-derived factor 9 concentrate products. A 1999 review of these products concluded that there is no difference between these products and that the least expensive product should be listed in the Formulary. In 1999, AlphaNine SD was listed because it was less expensive. AlphaNine SD was deleted and Mononine added in the Formulary, because Mononine was less expensive. Both products undergo multiple viral depletion and inactivation steps in their production processes; therefore, safety is not a selection criterion. Both products have undetectable levels of other clotting factors eg, 2, 7, and 10 ; , which are found in less pure clotting complex concentrates. Quetiap8ne is an atypical antipsychotic drug similar to olanzapine and clozapine which is not in the Formulary ; . It is used for the treat continued on page 2.

Randomized Controlled Trials Pharmacotherapy is the most researched intervention in early psychosis. Table 1 summarizes the 13 randomized controlled trials addressing first episode psychosis done to date. Most samples consisted of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders with only two studies using exclusively bipolar patients. Most studies were short term e.g., 5-12 weeks ; and examined symptomatic reduction efficacy and safety. The available evidence suggests that the atypical antipsychotics are at least as efficacious as typicals in decreasing psychopathology. In all studies the percentage of patients who met response criteria was higher with the atypicals. The atypicals also showed several advantages regarding side effects with the exception of greater weight gain. Dropout rates were lower for atypical antipsychotics, which suggests better tolerability of these medications. Several studies found that low doses were preferable to high doses. Two trials that studied relapse rates Crow; 25 Kane26 ; showed efficacy of typicals versus placebo in preventing relapse. The one-year clozapine study showed equal efficacy to chlorpromazine but greater speed of recovery with clozapine. Quicker response time was also found for risperidone and olanzapine versus haloperidol Sikich27 ; . The evidence for the use of mood stabilizers is limited with one trial Geller28 ; showing lithium reducing substance abuse but not mood symptoms ; in bipolar disorder patients more than placebo. A second showed that quetiapine appeared to boost the effectiveness of divalproex in treating manic symptoms. One further double-blind study was not included in the table because it focused on very treatment refractory patients with early onset schizophrenia.29 This study found that clozapine showed several advantages over haloperidol in treating symptoms of psychosis. Other Evidence The volume of research specific to first episode psychosis considerably lags the number of studies published on long standing affective and non-affective disorders. The assumption that studies using established illness may be extended to earlier phases of illness and younger patient populations has been adopted frequently in clinical practice. However, this practice may not be wholly defensible on empirical grounds. The efficacy of the atypical antipsychotics for the treatment of acute episodes of schizophrenia and mania has considerable support from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.30-32 The clinical efficacy of olanzapine, risperidone, clozapine, amisulpride and quetiapine are well documented compared to typical antipsychotic medications. The efficacy of antipsychotics in schizoaffective disorder has also been confirmed.33 The available evidence suggests that treatment of schizoaffective disorder with both a mood stabilizer and antipsychotic may be optimal although further research on maintenance therapy is especially needed.34 Despite this body of research, direct transfer of findings to first episode patients is not always appropriate. For example, the doses used in efficacy studies was often much higher than those found to be optimal in first.

In addition, this clinically significant improvement led to discharge home with her husband, which prevented her from requiring care in a more restrictive setting. Qietiapine is metabolized extensively by the liver, primarily by the cytochrome P-450 enzyme CYP3A4. Drugs that are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 may require a dose adjustment in quetiapine if these agents are utilized concurrently Table I ; . Strong inducers of CYP3A4 such as carbamazepine may require an increase in quetiapine dose. Inhibitors of CYP3A4 including ketoconazole and fluvoxamine require caution, as the half-life of quetiapine may be doubled when administered with these drugs. The mean half-life of quetiapine is 7 hours in young adults, and may double in those over age 65.12 Due to the significant hepatic metabolism of quetiapine, careful dose adjustments must be considered for patients with liver disease.6, 11.

Moexipril Hydrochloride Single and multiple doses of 15 mg or more of moexipril give sustained inhibition of plasma ACE activity of 80-90%, beginning within 2 hours and lasting 24 hours 80% ; . In controlled trials, the peak effects of orally administered moexipril increased with the dose administered over a dose range of 7.5 to 60 mg, given once a day. Antihypertensive effects were first detectable about 1 hour after dosing, with a peak effect between 3 and 6 hours after dosing. Just before dosing i.e., at trough ; , the antihypertensive effects were less prominently related to dose and the antihypertensive effect tended to diminish during the 24-hour dosing interval when the drug was administered once a day. In multiple-dose studies in the dose range of 7.5 to 30 mg once daily, moexipril lowered sitting blood pressure at trough by 4-11 3-6 mmHg more than placebo, a tendency toward increased response with higher doses. These effects are typical of ACE inhibitors; there are no trials of adequate size comparing moexipril with other antihypertensive agents. Higher doses of moexipril generally leave a greater fraction of the peak blood pressure effect still present at trough. During dose titration, any decision as to the adequacy of a dosing regimen should be based on trough blood pressure measurements. If diastolic blood pressure control is not adequate at the end of the dosing interval, the dose can be increased or given as a divided BID ; regimen. During chronic therapy, the antihypertensive effect of any dose of moexipril is generally evident within 2 weeks of treatment, with maximal reduction after 4 weeks. The antihypertensive effects of moexipril have been proven to continue during therapy for up to 24 months. Moexipril, like other ACE inhibitors, is less effective in decreasing trough blood pressures in blacks than in nonblacks. Placebo-corrected trough group diastolic blood pressure effects in blacks in the proposed dose range were + 1 to -3 mmHg compared with responses in nonblacks of -4 to -6 mmHg. The effectiveness of moexipril was not significantly influenced by patient age, gender, or weight. Moexipril has been shown to have antihypertensive activity in both pre- and postmenopausal women who have participated in placebo-controlled clinical trials.

Seroquel quetiapine ; was approved in 1997 to treat the adverse psychological symptoms of schizophrenia including delusions, hallucinations, and other positive symptoms and requip.
We started quetiapine up to 150 mg with very little result, and then discontinued it. On the other hand, because they are self-tapering, these drugs have minimal withdrawal symptoms and ropinirole.
Sexual functioning has received little attention as an important aspect of patient care for those suffering from severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Yet, it has been implicated as one of the major factors contributing to noncompliance with antipsychotic medications and is documented by people with schizophrenia to be one of the areas of treatment with the most unmet needs. A stronger focus on sexuality and preventing sexual dysfunction in schizophrenia would likely be a major benefit for improving treatment. This review will describe possible mechanisms for sexual dysfunction, describe sexual disturbances that have been documented in the literature of people who have schizophrenia, and summarize and discuss assessment measures available. Moreover, a focus on second-generation antipsychotics SGA ; and their association with sexual functioning is described. Each SGA clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and aripiprazole ; will be described for its prolactin effects, documented sexual disturbances associated with use, and product labeling regarding sexual function. Treatment options and psychosocial issues pertaining to sexuality also are presented. Keywords: Schizophrenia, sexual dysfunction, antipsychotics, prolactin, amenorrhea. Schizophrenia Bulletin, 30 4 ; : 767-779, 2004. Sexuality is a natural component of human behavior, and the nature of sexual behavior in the normal population has been well addressed Simons and Carey 2001 ; . For those suffering from severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia, however, sexual functioning has received little attention or recognition as an important aspect of their care. Until recently, discussing sexual issues with schizophrenia patients was considered inappropriate because it was believed that they should not engage in sexual activity. In fact, in the early 1900s some researchers believed that sexual excesses could actually cause insanity Von.
These individual changes in the world of work, and above all their cumulative effects, have brought the traditional system of health and safety at work to the limits of its capacity. It has thus been brought home to us emphatically at this conference that a more multidisciplinary approach to employees health and safety is needed. The pressures faced by employees must be considered in combination, because one factor may be dangerously exacerbated when it interacts with others. This multidisciplinary approach must, of course, extend to prevention, so that risks can be avoided from the start, because subsequent identification and assessment of risks are expensive, time-consuming and complex. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me now to list with due brevity some key points which have emerged from this whole area: future prevention strategies in the domain of European health and safety policies must take greater account of victimisation of individuals by their colleagues, which is one of the main causes of psychological stress at work; we rightly expect social policies to ensure that the same level of protection is guaranteed for all the diverse new forms of employment, such as telecommuting, as is afforded to employees in traditional work situations; we have long been aware that one of the principal effects of constant rationalisation measures which entail staff cuts and ever faster work rates is increased stress at the workplace. It is an alarming fact that 28% of employees in Europe believe that work-related stress is impairing their health. A statistic from the 1996 study by the Dublin Foundation. it will also be necessary to ensure that legal provisions, which have hitherto been designed to cover traditional stable working conditions, are regularly adapted to take account of new requirements; greater priority must also be accorded to research for the purpose of identifying new dangers. To that end, a sufficient amount of research funds must be invested so that new trends and new risks to employees can be predicted and rapid responses made; not only must internal organisation of companies be examined in other words the policies they pursue in order to guarantee safe and healthy places of work ; but we shall have to focus especially on very small businesses, where traditional health and safety inspection methods cannot provide blanket coverage; last but not least, a stronger link must be created between safety and the protection of health in places of work on the one hand and employment policies on the other, for a healthy workforce is both a prerequisite and a consequence of satisfying and fulfilling employment. The European Agency for Safety and Health at work has already surveyed the individual Member States and has compiled a catalogue of their priorities and strategies for dealing with the new risks. The aim now is to be able to master the new challenges through strategies devised jointly by the social partners, governments and the European organisations and institutions and to implement these strategies on the shop floor. For the European Community and its Member States, the European model of a partnership between labour and management - social partnership - is one of the foundations of peace within society and hence one of the cornerstones of a process of economic and social development in which friction is kept to a minimum. For the candidate countries too, whose future accession will enlarge the European Union, this model of partnership should serve as an entrance requirement. In view of the undisputed successes of the social-partnership model with its specific form of controlled balance of interests, I assume that we shall only be able to resolve labour disputes in globalised and regionalised markets if the representatives of employers and employees engage in constructive cooperation. The conference in Bilbao has made a significant contribution in this domain. It has demonstrated that a broad spectrum of knowledge on the changing world of work is already available. What we are now called upon to do is pool that knowledge, to process it and to disseminate it in an appropriate way. I see this as an and tretinoin.

4. Reservoir--Unknown for most viruses. Transovarian transmission of Ross River virus has been demonstrated in Aedes vigilax, making an insect reservoir a possibility. Similar transmission cycles may occur with other viruses of the group. Birds are a source of mosquito infection for Sindbis virus. 5. Mode of transmission--Ross River virus is transmitted by Culex annulirostris, Ae. vigilax, Ae. polynesiensis and other Aedes spp.; chikungunya virus by Ae. aegypti and possibly others; o'nyong-nyong virus by Anopheles spp.; Sindbis virus by various Culex spp., especially C. univittatus and C. morsitans and Ae. communis; Mayaro virus by Mansonia and Haemagogus spp. 6. Incubation period--From 3 to 11 days. 7. Period of communicability--No evidence of direct person-toperson transmission. 8. Susceptibility--Recovery is universal and followed by lasting homologous immunity; second attacks are unknown. Inapparent infections are common, especially in children, among whom the overt disease is rare. In epidemic polyarthritis, arthritis occurs most frequently among adult females and in people with HLA DR7 Gm a x phenotypes. 9. Methods of control-- A. Preventive measures: General measures applicable to mosquito-borne viral encephalitides see Arthropod-borne viral encephalitides, I9A, 15 and 8 ; . B.

C. Epidemic measures: Same as for arthropod-borne viral fevers see Dengue fever, 9C.
The fourth study, also reported in a poster, randomized 24 first-episode adolescentpsychosis patients to quetaipine and 26 to olanzapine. The two groups, stratified by age mean age 15.9 years ; and gender, included patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychotic disorders. Sixteen patients in each arm completed the 6-month study. None of the dropouts was attributed to adverse events. Dr. Arango reported that whereas significantly more patients on olanzapine experienced rigidity, diminished sexual desire was significantly more common with quetiapine. Both groups gained weight during 6 months of treatment, but the patients on olanzapine gained significantly more: 16.5 kg on average vs. 5.4 kg. In addition, a review of subjective side effects showed about 70% of patients in both groups complaining of sleepiness and sedation. More olanzapine patients reported concentration difficulties and failing memory. Constipation and palpitations tachycardia were cited more often by those on quetiapin Seroquel ; . The fifth study followed 67 patients in the first-episode clinic at Dr. Arango's unit for 6 months. The population comprised 22 patients on risperidone, 20 on olanzapine, and 25 on quetiapine. Their mean age was 15.7 years, about two-thirds were males, and none had previously taken an antipsychotic. About half had schizophrenia. The male patients gained more weight, the patients' HbA1c was related to changes in BMI, and those on olanzapine had significantly increased sstolic blood pressure. In conclusion, he recommended that clinicians assess risk benefit ratios carefully when prescribing antipsychotics to children and adolescents, especially if the patient has a nonpsychotic disorder. Healso urged frequent reconsideration of whether these medications need to be continued in patients who are not psychotic and said that all young patients should be monitored for adverse metabolic and en docrine effects.

New York Pharma Forum November 16, 2005 - Pg. 18. A large number of 5-HT2C Receptor Antagonists Display Inverse Agonist Activity at Cloned Rat 5-HT2C-VGV Receptors Expressed in NIH-3T3 Cells. In preliminary experiments, we tested 11 atypical antipsychotic drugs remoxapride, quetiapine, melperone, amperozide, zotepine, ziprasidone, olanzapine, clozapine, risperidone, fluperlapine, and sertindole ; , 9 typical antipsychotic drugs sulpiride, setoperone, loxapine, amoxapine, mesoridazine, thioridazine, chlorpromazine, spiperone, and haloperidol ; , and 4 drugs with equivocal antipsychotic activity mianserin, ritanserin, M100907, and isoclozapine ; for inverse agonist activity at cloned rat 5-HT2C receptors. For these studies, a stable cell line PO1C ; that expresses the 5-HT2C-VGV isoform of the rat 5-HT2C receptor at high levels was used. Compounds were screened for activity at 1 M, since preliminary studies indicated that several compounds induce a nonspecific activation of PI hydrolysis at concentrations of 10 M greater not shown ; . As can be seen in Fig. 1, nearly all of the tested compounds that have been previously shown to be 5-HT2C antagonists depressed basal [3H]IP accumulation, including setoperone, zotepine, ziprasidone, olanzapine, clozapine, risperidone, M100907, fluperlapine, sertindole, loxapine, amoxapine, thioridazine, chlorpromazine, isoclozapine, and ritanserin. All of these drugs have been previously demonstrated to have moderate Ki 300 nM ; to high Ki 50 nM ; affinities for this isoform of the rat 5-HT2C receptor Roth et al., 1992, 1995, 1998 ; . As is clear from Fig. 1, several atypical antipsychotic drugs, including remoxapride, quetiapine, melperone, and amperozide, were devoid of inverse agonist actions at the tested concentrations, as were the typical antipsychotic drugs mesoridazine, spiperone, and haloperidol. Four of these drugs, remoxapride, quetiapine, melperone, and amperozide, have negligible affinities Ki 500 nM ; for the tested isoform of the rat 5-HT2C receptor Roth et al., 1995, 1988 ; . It is also clear from Fig. 1 that the basal activity of the VGV isoform of the r5-HT2C receptor is low 1000 1200 dpm ; and that most of the tested drugs had modest inverse agonist activity. This is despite the very high level of expression of the r5-HT2C receptor in this cell line 7 pmol mg ; . The low level of constitutive activity precluded detailed dose response studies with the VGV isoform of the r5-HT2C receptor expressed in NIH-3T3 cells. Accordingly, further studies were performed with the INI isoform of the human 5-HT2C receptor, which has previously been demonstrated to have a high degree of constitutive activity Niswender et al., 1999 ; . Selected Typical and Atypical Antipsychotic Drugs Increase PI Hydrolysis in Untransfected COS-7 and. To questions. She scored 23 out of 38 on the STMS with errors in calculations, abstraction and recall. Her copy of the ReyOsterrieth complex figure was again almost perfect. Parkinsonism was similar to that noted on the prior examination, and frontal release signs were now absent. Her husband's responses to questioning on the NPI are shown in Table 2. MRI Figs 2B and 3B ; showed significant progressive atrophy involving the amygdala, hippocampi and frontotemporal cortex. Atrophy was particularly prominent along the interhemispheric fissure and in the inferior and middle temporal gyri. Quetiapin was titrated upwards to further manage insomnia and intermittent agitation. She was re-evaluated 6 months later. As insomnia, manic as well as obsessivecompulsive features had escalated, quetiapine had been increased to 500 mg daily, valproic acid was increased to 2000 mg daily, and gabapentin was added, yet these neuropsychiatric features continued. Her husband was averaging 45 h of sleep nightly. He was pleased to see and seroquel.
