Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Amisulpride in Amazeo acts by selectively working on certain areas of the brain (dopaminergic receptors), resulting in an increase in the levels of dopamine. Dopamine plays an important role in mood, motivation, memory etc. Low levels of dopamine cause depression. By effectively increasing the levels of dopamine in the body, Amazeo relieves symptoms of depression.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Medications to treat Parkinson’s disease (bromocriptine or ropinirole) as it can increase the chance of seizure.
  • Medicines used to correct heart rhythm (such as quinidine, disopyramide, procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol) when used with Amazeo could cause problems in heart rhythm.
  • Medications that can decrease the heart rate such as beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers such as diltiazem and verapamil, clonidine, guanfacine and digitalis
  • Medications that can cause hypokalemia (decrease potassium) or electrolyte imbalance such as water pills, diuretics, laxatives, amphotericin B (antifungal medication), glucocorticoids (used to manage asthma or rheumatoid arthritis), and tetracosactides (used for diagnosis).
  • Medications not recommended with Amazeo due to the potential side effects include antipsychotics such as pimozide, and haloperidol, clozapine, imipramine or lithium (to treat depression), medications used to treat allergies (antihistamines) such as astemizole, and terfenadine, and mefloquine (treat malaria)
  • Concomitant use with narcotics (used to treat severe pain), anaesthetics, analgesics (pain killers), antihistamines such as promethazine can cause sleepiness and significantly increase the effect of Amazeo.
  • Medications used to treat high blood pressure and other medications that lower the blood pressure can increase the effects of Amazeo.

Interactions with food items

  • No special dietary precautions are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The benefit provided by the medication and the safety of using Amazeo in children below 18 years has not been sufficiently proven. However, if determined to be absolutely essential, then children between 15 and 18 years can undergo treatment with the medication under the close supervision of an experienced physician. It is, however, not recommended for use in children below the age of 15.

Amazeo is likely to cause low blood pressure or excessive sleepiness in elderly patients and is therefore not usually recommended due to restricted experience in this age group.

Amazeo can be used to treat patients with kidney problems depending on the condition of the kidneys. They would require a dose adjustment which would probably be half or a third of the usual dose.
