Sulpiride Injection

[Specification] 2 mL: 50 mg; 2 mL: 100 mg

[Indications] Sulpiride injection is a benzamide antipsychotic indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, particularly for withdrawn, apathetic, or emotionally blunted symptoms, for depressive symptoms in some patients and for the relief of nausea and vomiting.

[Usage and dosage] Give intramuscularly or by slow intravenous infusion under medical supervision. For schizophrenia, the usual adult intramuscular dose is 100 mg twice daily; in severe stupor or negativism, 100 to 200 mg diluted in 250 to 500 mL of glucose-sodium chloride injection may be infused slowly once daily, increasing gradually to 300 to 600 mg per day, with a maximum of 800 mg per day and an infusion time of not less than 4 hours. Extrapyramidal reactions and raised prolactin are common.
