Pipotiazine helps you to think more clearly, decreases hallucinations and negative thoughts, and makes it easier to function in everyday life.
Pipotiazine, also known as Piportil, is a typical antipsychotic belonging to the phenothiazine class. It has been used in the United Kingdom and other countries for the treatment of schizophrenia. Its properties are similar to those of chlorpromazine. Pipotiazine is available as a long-acting injectable formulation called pipotiazine palmitate. Here are some key points about pipotiazine:
Medical Uses:
Pipotiazine palmitate is used to treat schizophrenia1.
It is administered as a depot injection, creating a slow-release “depot” in the body over several weeks.
Pharmacokinetics:
After deep intramuscular injection, pipotiazine palmitate reaches maximum plasma concentration in 7-14 days.
It has an elimination half-life of 15 days.
Steady-state levels are achieved after 2 months of usual dosing (given every 4 weeks)1.
Synthesis:
Pipotiazine synthesis involves alkylation of 2-Dimethylaminosulfonylphenthiazine with 1-Bromo-3-chloropropane1.
