Pharmacology:Â
sulpiride is an antipsychotic medication with a unique pharmacological profile. It primarily acts as a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist in the brain, which means it blocks the effects of the neurotransmitter dopamine on these receptors. By doing so, sulpiride helps regulate dopamine levels and function in the central nervous system, particularly in areas of the brain associated with psychosis and mood regulation.
sulpiride also prefers certain subtypes of D2 receptors, such as D2 and D3 receptors, which contributes to its unique clinical effects. The medication is used to treat a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and certain mood disturbances.  Â
Pharmacodynamics:Â
Pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
sulpiride is commonly administered orally in the form of tablets or capsules. It is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with peak blood levels occurring about 2 to 6 hours after ingestion.Â
DistributionÂ
sulpiride could cross blood-brain barrier, allowing it to reach its target sites in the central nervous system, where it acts on dopamine receptors.Â
MetabolismÂ
The metabolism of sulpiride involves cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, which are responsible for various drug-metabolizing reactions. Genetic variations in these enzymes can influence the metabolism of sulpiride and the potential for drug interactions.Â
Elimination and excretionÂ
The primary route of excretion for sulpiride and its metabolites is through the kidneys, where they are eliminated in the urine. Unchanged sulpiride and its sulfoxide metabolite are excreted in the urine.Â

Why do we use sulpiride?Â
sulpiride is prescribed to manage the symptoms of schizophrenia. It can help reduce or control positive symptoms of the disorder, such as delusions, hallucinations, and thought disturbances. This medication can be used to treat schizoaffective disorder, a condition characterized by a combination of mood disorder and schizophrenia symptoms.
It helps alleviate both psychotic and mood-related symptoms in such cases. sulpiride is sometimes used in the management of bipolar disorder, particularly during manic or hypomanic episodes. It can help stabilize mood and control manic symptoms.Â
