1. What is Amisulprida Aurovitas and what is it used for

Amisulprida Aurovitas contains an active ingredient called amisulpride. It belongs to a group of medicines known as antipsychotics.

It is used to treat a condition called schizophrenia, which may cause you to see, feel, or hear things that do not exist (hallucinations), have strange and frightening thoughts (delusions), change your behavior, and make you feel lonely. Sometimes, people with these symptoms may also feel tense, anxious, become suspicious or aggressive without apparent reason (known as 'positive symptoms'), or become depressed and withdrawn (known as 'negative symptoms').

Amisulprida works by improving these altered thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to treat schizophrenia in its early stages and also over the long term.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Amisulpride Aurovita

Do not take Amisulprida Aurovitas:

  • If you are allergic to amisulpride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, throat and tongue.
  • If you are pregnant, may become pregnant or are breastfeeding (see section ‘Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility’).
  • If you have breast cancer or any prolactin-dependent tumour.
  • If you have a pituitary tumour.
  • If you have a tumour in the adrenal gland (called phaeochromocytoma).
  • If you are being treated with levodopa, a medicine used to treat Parkinson’s disease (see below the section ‘Other medicines and Amisulprida Aurovitas’).
  • If you are taking medicines to treat heart rhythm disorders, or medicines that may cause abnormal heart rhythm when used with amisulpride (see below the section ‘Other medicines and Amisulprida Aurovitas’).
  • If the patient is under 15 years old.

Do not take this medicine if you are affected by any of the above points. If you are unsure, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Amisulprida Aurovitas.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Amisulprida Aurovitas.

Speak with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine if:

  • You havefever, rapid breathing, excessive sweating, decreased consciousness or muscle rigidity, which are symptoms of a serious, potentially fatal condition called “neuroleptic malignant syndrome”.Stop taking amisulpride immediately and contact your doctor.
  • You have kidney problems.
  • You have Parkinson’s disease.
  • You have ever had convulsions (epileptic fits).
  • You have an abnormal heart rhythm.
  • You have a heart condition or a family history of heart problems or sudden death.
  • You have a prolonged QT interval or a family history of this (this is a measure of how your heart works and a doctor may detect it using an electrocardiogram).
  • You have had a previous stroke or your doctor has told you that you are at risk of having one.
  • If you or someone in your family has a history of blood clots, as medicines like this have been associated with clot formation.
  • If you are diabetic or have been told that you are at high risk of developing diabetes.
  • If you have a slow heart rate (less than 55 beats per minute).
  • If you are taking other medicines that may affect how your heart works: consult your doctor before taking any medicine. See also the sections ‘Do not take Amisulprida Aurovitas’ and ‘Other medicines and Amisulprida Aurovitas’.
  • If you have been told that you have a low level of potassium or magnesium in your blood.
  • If you are an elderly person. This is because these people are more prone to low blood pressure or feeling drowsy. There has been a reported slight increase in deaths in elderly people with dementia taking antipsychotics compared to those who do not take them.
  • You have a low number of blood cells (agranulocytosis). This means that you may catch infections more easily than usual.
  • If you have frequent infections such as fever, chills, sore throat or mouth ulcers. This may be a sign of a blood disorder called leucopenia.
  • If you or someone in your family has a history of breast cancer, as amisulpride may affect the risk of developing it. You should be closely monitored while you are taking Amisulprida Aurovitas.
  • Amisulpride may increase prolactin levels. If you are found to have very high levels of prolactin in your blood or have symptoms of a pituitary tumour (such as visual defects or headaches), a scan of the pituitary gland will be done. Once the diagnosis of a pituitary tumour is confirmed, treatment with amisulpride will be stopped (see section “Do not take Amisulprida Aurovitas”).
  • Severe liver problems have been reported with amisulpride. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or yellowing of the eyes or skin.

If you are unsure whether any of these points affect you, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Amisulprida Aurovitas.

Recommended dose

The amount you take of amisulprida will depend on your condition. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Adults

  • The usual dose is between 50 mg and 800 mg per day. If you suffer from positive symptoms, the recommended dose is 400 mg to 800 mg per day, and your doctor will adjust it depending on the nature and severity of your condition and the functioning of your kidneys.

  • Doses above 300 mg should be taken half in the morning and half in the afternoon.

Advanced age(patients over 65 years)

  • Your doctor will keep you under strict control as amisulprida may cause drowsiness (dizziness) or a drop in blood pressure, and is not generally recommended as there is limited experience in this age group.

Patients with kidney problems
