Apropride 25mg Tab (Amisulpride) is an atypical antipsychotic. It primarily acts as a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, selectively blocking D2 receptors in the mesolimbic pathway (responsible for positive symptoms) while having less effect on D2 receptors in the nigrostriatal pathway (reducing the risk of extrapyramidal side effects). It also exhibits some serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonism.
Store Amisulpride at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
Dosage should be determined by a physician based on individual needs and response.
Amisulpride is typically administered orally.
Dosage may be adjusted gradually to optimize efficacy and minimize side effects.
