• if you are allergic to the active ingredient or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before starting to take Solian 200 mg.

• like with other antipsychotic medications, there is a risk of developing a malignant neuroleptic syndrome (a complication that can be fatal) characterized by high fever, muscle rigidity, alteration of the nervous system (autonomic instability), alteration of consciousness (obnubilation), rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown associated with muscle pain) and an increase in an enzyme called creatine phosphokinase (CPK). In the case of high fever, especially when high doses are used, all antipsychotic medications, including amisulpride, should be discontinued.

Rhabdomyolysis has also been observed in patients without malignant neuroleptic syndrome.

• if you have Parkinson's disease.
• if you have known cardiovascular disease or a family history of prolonged QT interval, and antipsychotic medications should be avoided.
• if you have risk factors for cerebral infarction.
• in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis, who are being treated with antipsychotics (possibility of increased risk of death).
• in patients with risk factors for thromboembolism (see "Possible side effects");
• if you have a history or family history of breast cancer.
• if a diagnosis of pituitary tumor is confirmed, amisulpride treatment should be discontinued.
• if you have established diabetes mellitus or risk factors for diabetes.
• if you have a history of seizures.

• if you have renal insufficiency.
• withdrawal symptoms (nausea, vomiting or insomnia) have been described after abrupt discontinuation of high doses. Psychotic symptoms and involuntary movement disorders, such as akathisia (inability to sit still quietly), dystonia (permanent involuntary contractions of the muscles of one or more parts of the body) and dyskinesia (incoordination of movements), may also reappear suddenly. Therefore, a gradual withdrawal is recommended.
• like with other antipsychotic medications, there is a risk of developing leukopenia, neutropenia and agranulocytosis. The appearance of fever or unexplained infections may indicate these blood disorders (discrasias) (see "Possible side effects") and require immediate blood analysis.
• severe liver problems have been reported with Solian. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or yellow discoloration of the eyes or skin.

Use of Solian 200 mg with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently or may need to take any other medication.

Certain medications used may modify the effect of Solian 200 mg and your doctor may change the dose during combined treatment.

Solian 200 mg is contraindicated with levodopa.

Amisulpride may counteract the effect of dopamine agonists (e.g., bromocriptine and ropinirole).

It is not recommended to use medications containing alcohol with Solian 200 mg, as amisulpride may potentiate the central effects of alcohol.

• blood pressure-lowering medications.
• Clozapine.
• medications that prolong the QT interval, such as antiarrhythmic medications (quinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone and sotalol), some antihistamines, other antipsychotics and some malaria medications (mefloquine).
• lithium salts.
• Sucralfate.
• Antacids.

Taking Solian 200 mg with food and drinks
