How Levoprome works

Levoprome's antipsychotic effect is largely due to its antagonism of dopamine receptors in the brain. In addition, its binding to 5HT2 receptors may also play a role.

Toxicity

Symptoms of overdose include convulsions, spastic movements, and coma.

Food Interaction

  • Take with food. Food reduces irritation.

Levoprome Alcohol interaction

[Moderate] GENERALLY AVOID:

Concurrent use of ethanol and phenothiazines may result in additive CNS depression and psychomotor impairment.

Also, ethanol may precipitate dystonic reactions in patients who are taking phenothiazines.

The two drugs probably act on different sites in the brain, although the exact mechanism of the interaction is not known.



Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during phenothiazine therapy.

Levoprome Disease Interaction

Major: dementia

Elimination Route

Levoprome has an incomplete oral bioavailability, because it undergoes considerable first-pass-metabolism in the liver. Oral bioavailability is approximately 50 to 60%.

Half Life

Approximately 20 hours.
