Indications
Flupentixol and Melitracen tablet is indicated in-
Pharmacology
This consists of two well-known and well-proven compounds: flupentixol-a neuroleptic with anxiolytic and antidepressant properties of its own when given in small doses, and melitracen-a bipolar thymoleptic with activating properties in low doses. In combination, the compounds render a preparation with antidepressant, anxiolytic, and activating properties. A maximal serum concentration is reached in about 4 hours after oral administration of flupentixol and in about 4 hours after oral administration of melitracen. The biological half-life of flupentixol is about 35 hours and that of melitracen is about 19 hours. The combination of flupentixol and melitracen does not seem to influence the pharmacokinetic properties of the individual compounds.
Dosage & Administration
Interaction
This tablet may enhance the response to alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants. Simultaneous administration of MAO inhibitors may cause hypertensive crises. Neuroleptics and homoleptic reduce the antihypertensive effect of guanethidine and similar-acting compounds and homoleptic enhances the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline.
