Read moreLopez 5 mg is indicated for the acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia and related psychoses where positive symptoms (e.g. delusions, hallucinations, disordered thinking, hostility and suspiciousness) and/or negative symptoms (e.g. flattened affect, emotional and social withdrawal, poverty of speech) are prominent. Lopez 5 mg is indicated for the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes in bipolar disorder, with or without psychotic features and with or without a rapid cycling courseTheropeutic ClassAtypical neuroleptic drugsPharmacologyLopez 5 mg is an antipsychotic agent and has affinities for serotonin 5HT2A/2C, 5HT3, 5HT6; dopamine D1, D2, D3, D4, D5; cholinergic muscarinic receptors M1-M5; ?1 adrenergic; and histamine H1 receptors. The mechanism of action of Lopez 5 mg, as with other drugs having efficacy in schizophrenia, is unknown. However, it has been proposed that this drug?s efficacy in schizophrenia is mediated through a combination of dopamine and serotonin type 2 (5HT2) antagonism. Lopez 5 mg is well absorbed after oral administration, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 5 to 8 hours. The absorption is not affected by food. Lopez 5 mg is not mutagenic or clastogenic as well as not carcinogenic.Dosage & Administration of Lopez 5 mgThe recommended starting dose for Lopez 5 mg is 10 mg/day, administered as a single daily dose without regard to meals. Daily dosage may subsequently be adjusted on the basis of individual clinical status within the range of 5-20 mg daily. An increase to a dose greater than the routine therapeutic dose of 10 mg/day i.e. to a dose of 15 mg/day or greater, is recommended only after appropriate clinical reassessment.When more than one factor is present which might result in slower?metabolism (female gender, geriatric age, non-smoking status), consideration should be given to decreasing the starting dose. Dose escalation, when indicated, should be conservative in such patients.Dosage of Lopez 5 mgSchizophrenia, combination therapy for Mania, Bipolar Disorder: The initial dose is 5-10 mg once daily. Daily dosage may subsequently be adjusted on the basis of individual clinical status within the range of 5-20 mg daily. Dosage greater than 10 mg daily only after reassessment.

Gradual tapering of the dose should be considered while discontinuing Lopez 5 mg.Interaction of Lopez 5 mgLopez 5 mg may antagonize the effects of levodopa and dopamine agonists. Drugs that induce CYP1A2 or glucoronyl transferase enzymes e.g, Omeprazole and Rifampicin, may increase Lopez 5 mg clearance. Inhibitors of CYP1A2 may potentially inhibit Lopez 5 mg elimination. Carbamazepine may increase the clearance of Lopez 5 mg. Concomitant administration of activated charcoal reduces the oral bioavailability of Lopez 5 mg by 50-60%. Caution should be taken when Lopez 5 mg is administered with centrally acting drugs and alcohol.ContraindicationsLopez 5 mg is contraindicated in those patients with a known hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the product as well as in patients with known risk for narrow-angle glaucoma.Side Effects of Lopez 5 mgVery common undesirable effects are somnolence and weight gain.
