Pharmacology:
Ziprasidone is a psychotropic agent belonging to the chemical class of benzisoxazole derivatives and is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia. Ziprasidone is a selective monoaminergic antagonist with high affinity for the serotonin Type 2 (5HT2), dopamine Type 2 (D2), 1 and 2 adrenergic, and H1 histaminergic receptors. Ziprasidone acts as an...

Mechanism of Action: Ziprasidone's antipsychotic activity is likely due to a combination of its antagonistic function at D2 receptors in the mesolimbic pathways and at 5HT2A receptors in the frontal cortex. Alleviation of positive symptoms is due to antagonism at D2 receptors while relief of negative symptoms are due to 5HT2A antagonism.
Absorption: ~60%
Protein binding: 99%
Biotransformation: Hepatic
Route of elimination: Ziprasidone is extensively metabolized after oral administration with only a small amount excreted in the urine (<1%) or feces (<4%) as unchanged drug. Approximately 20% of the dose is excreted in the urine, with approximately 66% being eliminated in the feces.
Half Life: 7 hours
Clearance: 7.5 mL/min/kg
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
Interactions
Food interaction:
Avoid alcohol.
Drug interaction:
RisperidoneAdditive QTc-prolonging effects may increase the risk of severe arrhythmias. Concomitant therapy is contraindicated.
FlecainideAdditive QTc-prolonging effects may increase the risk of severe arrhythmias. Concomitant therapy is contraindicated.
DisopyramideAdditive QTc-prolonging effects may increase the risk of severe arrhythmias. Concomitant therapy should be avoided.
PergolideThe atypical antipsychotic, ziprasidone, may antagonize the effect of the dopamine agonist, pergolide. Consider alternate therapy or monitor for worsening of movement disorder.
NortriptylineAdditive QTc-prolonging effects may increase the risk of severe arrhythmias. Concomitant therapy is contraindicated.
