Pharmacology
This consists of two well-known and well-proven compounds: flupentixol, a neuroleptic with depressive and anxiolytic characteristics at modest dosages, and melitracen, a bipolar thymoleptic with activating qualities in low doses. When the chemicals are combined, they form an antidepressant, anxiolytic, and activating formulation. Flupentixol and melitracen achieve their maximum blood concentrations in around 4 hours after oral dosing.Flupentixol has a biological half-life of 35 hours while melitracen has a biological half-life of 19 hours. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of flupentixol and melitracen do not appear to be influenced by their combination.
Dosage
Adults: Usually 2 tablets orally daily in the morning and noon. In severe cases, the morning dose may be increased to 2 tablets.
Elderly patients: 1 tablet in the morning.
Interaction
This tablet may enhance the response to alcohol, barbiturates and other CNS depressants. Simultaneous administration of MAO-inhibitors may cause hypertensive crises. Neuroleptics and thymoleptics reduce the antihypertensive effect of guanethidine and similar acting compounds and thymoleptics enhance the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline.
Side Effects
In the recommended doses side-effects are rare. These could be transient restlessness and insomnia.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Flupentixol-melitracen should preferably not be given during pregnancy and lactation.
Warnings
If previously the patient has been treated with tranquilizers with sedative effect these should be withdrawn gradually.
Storage Conditions
Store in a dry area at a temperature of not more than 30°C. Protect yourself from the sun. Keep out of children's reach.
