Sulpitac 50

Uses
Sulpitac 50 (Amisulpride) belongs to a class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics, and it is used as a schizophrenia treatment. This drug acts on the brain, and affects a specific neurotransmitter (known as dopamine). It is a widely held belief that the symptoms of schizophrenia (such as hallucinations, hostile behaviour and social problems) are related to excess dopamine activity. Inhibiting the action of the dopamine receptors helps to control schizophrenia. Some patients affected by bipolar disorder have taken this drug, and it has also been used as an antidepressant. Its effects when used to treat delirium have recently been studied.
