From the Guidelines

Levomepromatsiini 12,5 mg aiheuttaa todennäköisemmin nenän tukkoisuutta ja suun kuivumista kuin ketiapiini 12,5 mg 1. Tämä johtuu levomepromatsiinin antikolinergisista vaikutuksista, jotka ovat tyypillisiä tietyn lääkeaineryhmän yhdisteille 1.

Yleiset sivuvaikutukset

  • Levomepromatsiini: antikolinergiset vaikutukset, ortostaattinen hypotensio, paradoksaalinen agitaatio, ekstrapyramidaaliset oireet 1
  • Ketiapiini: sedaatio, ortostaattinen hypotensio, dizziness 1

Annos ja sivuvaikutukset

Molemmat lääkeaineet ovat yleensä hyvin siedettyjä annoksilla 12,5 mg, mutta levomepromatsiini saattaa aiheuttaa enemmän mainittuja sivuvaikutuksia 1.

Lääkeaineryhmän ominaisuudet

Levomepromatsiini kuuluu fenotiasiinilääkeaineryhmään, joka on tunnettu antikolinergisista vaikutuksistaan 1. Ketiapiini on toisen polven antipsykoottinen lääke, joka on vähemmän altis aiheuttamaan ekstrapyramidaalisia oireita 1.
