Actions and spectrum:Â
Alizapride is an antagonist of dopamine. It blocks D2 receptors in the CTZ (chemoreceptor trigger zone), thereby prevents nausea and vomiting
Frequency not definedÂ
DiarrheaÂ
DizzinessÂ
DrowsinessÂ
HeadacheÂ
GalactorrhoeaÂ
AmenorrheaÂ
Extrapyramidal symptomsÂ
Do not drive vehicles or operate machinery
Contraindication/Caution:Â
Contraindication:Â
Sub-occlusionÂ
GI perforationÂ
Pheochromocytoma
Pregnancy consideration:Â Â
USFDA pregnancy category: CÂ
Lactation:Â Â
The data about the excretion of drugs into breast milk is not knownÂ
Pregnancy category:Â Â
Category A: Studies that were well-controlled and met expectations revealed no risk to the fetus `in either the first or second trimester.Â
Category B: There was a lack of studies on pregnant women and no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal experiments.  Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.   Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.  Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence, these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.   Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category
Pharmacology:Â
Alizapride is an antiemetic drug structurally similar to metoclopramideÂ
Pharmacodynamics:Â
It is an antagonist of dopamineÂ
Pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
It is rapidly absorbed when administered orallyÂ
DistributionÂ
MetabolismÂ
Alizapride undergoes hepatic metabolism primarily through the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, with CYP3A4 playing a significant role in the process. The metabolites are excreted in the urineÂ
Half-life:Â
3 hoursÂ
Administration:Â Â
Administer the drug as advised by the doctorÂ
Patient information leafletÂ
