What are the effects of sulpiride on the brain?

Sulpiride works by specifically blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, with minimal impact on other neuronal systems. It seems to target a specific subset of cerebral dopamine receptors within the dopamine systems.

Does sulpiride impact memory?

In tests, individuals taking sulpiride showed more instances of false recognition during visual and verbal processing compared to those in the placebo group, even though both groups had similar levels of true memory. This suggests that blocking dopamine D2 receptors can increase false recognitions in healthy volunteers.

What are some other uses of sulpiride?

Sulpiride, at a dosage of 50mg, is an antipsychotic medication with neuroleptic properties used for various purposes; treating certain forms of anxiety in adults; managing behavioral and emotional disorders like agitation and self-harm in children over 6 years old or adults; and addressing acute and chronic schizophrenia.

Is it safe to consume alcohol while taking sulpiride?

Avoid consuming wine or alcoholic beverages while undergoing treatment with this medication, and refrain from using alcohol-containing medications simultaneously. Alcohol could potentially enhance the sedative effects of the medication.

How long does the effect of Modal last?

Sulpiride has a half-life of approximately 8 hours. This implies that it will be cleared from the system in roughly 32 to 40 hours, which is equivalent to about a day and a half.

Modal (sulpiride) is a medication of the benzamide class (typical antipsychotics). Modal capsules (40 mg) are used mainly in the treatment of vertigo and pre-psychotic states. Modal Forte tablets (200 mg) are used in the treatment of vertigo and pre-psychotic states and as well in psychiatric patients for the treatment of depression and apathy. Sulpiride can treat and prevent the return of symptoms in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Note: Sulpiride is not approved for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration but is used as a psychotherapeutic agent in the EU, UK and other countries. Sulpiride is approved in Japan as a treatment for schizophrenia and major depressive disorder. Modal can be prescribed off-label by physicians in the US.

Modal is usually well tolerated, with few adverse side effects. The most common side effects are:

Dizziness
Headache
Somnolence or insomnia
Weight changes (gain or loss)
Sexual dysfunction, amenorrhea, gynecomastia
Nausea, vomiting
Nasal congestion
Anticholinergic adverse effects due to blockage of the action of acetylcholine, such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, or impaired concentration.

If these side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Stop the treatment and contact a doctor if side effects resembling extrapyramidal involuntary movements, such as tremors, dystonia, akathisia (restlessness), or Parkinsonism, appear.

There is a small possibility of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction or anaphylactic shock) whose symptoms may include breathing difficulties, dizziness, cold and clammy skin, pale skin color, and rapid heartbeats. In that case, call 911 or go directly to an emergency room.

Modal’s primary use in medicine is in the management of vertigo and pre-psychotic states. It has been used as both a monotherapy and adjunctive therapy (in case of treatment resistance) in schizophrenia. The stronger form (Modal Forte) has also been used in the treatment of the milder but long-lasting form of depression called persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) and in psychiatric patients for the treatment of depression and apathy.
