1. What is Sulpiride Stada 50mg?

Sulpiride stada 50mg has the main ingredient is Sulpiride. Sulpiride is a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of chronic and acute schizophrenia. Sulpiride first appeared in the published literature in 1967. Clinical studies have shown a more effective treatment for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia than the positive symptoms at low doses, although the effect is more equal at higher doses.
Sulpiride is not approved by the FDA, Health Canada or the EMA; although it is approved in individual European countries.
Sulpiride is a selective Dopamine D2 antagonist indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic schizophrenia, essentially a substituted Benzamide derivative. The drug has a short duration of action because it is administered twice daily and a long duration of treatment because patients have survived with a single dose of up to 16g. Patients should be counseled about myoclonus, extrapyramidal reactions, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
Silicon studies have shown that Sulpiride can interact with the amino acid residues Asp-119 and Phe-417 of these receptors. It is estimated that D2 receptors should be occupied 65 - 80% for optimal treatment and minimal side effects.
The oral bioavailability of Sulpiride is 27 ± 9%. Doses of 100 - 108 mg of Sulpiride reached a maximum C of 232 - 403 ng/mL, with a maximum T of 8.3 hours. In another study, the AUC for the oral dose of 100 mg Sulpiride was 1156 ± 522 h*ng/mL and for the intravenous dose 3981 ± 813 h*ng/mL. 95% of a dose of Sulpiride is not metabolized. An intravenous dose of Sulpiride is eliminated 70 ± 9% in the urine within 36 hours, while an oral dose of 27 ± 9% is excreted in the urine. In both cases, the dose was recovered as the parent compound unchanged. Sulpiride half-life studies were performed with only a small number of subjects. Therefore, the mean half-life could be 7.15 hours 4 to 8.3 hours.

Clcr from 10 - 30 ml/min: dose is 1/2 of the normal dose or can prolong the interval between doses 2 times compared to normal people. Clcr less than 10 ml/min: the dose is 1/3 of the normal dose or can prolong the interval between doses 3 times compared to normal people.
