Solian

What is it?

Composition

The composition of Solian is designed to ensure its effectiveness and minimize adverse reactions. The main active ingredient is amisulpride, which has a key effect on the functioning of brain receptors. This substance is responsible for the main therapeutic effect of the drug, reducing the manifestations of mental disorders.

Additionally, the composition includes auxiliary components that ensure the stability of the drug and its absorption by the body. These components may vary depending on the form of release.

• Active substance: amisulpride.
• Excipients: lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, hypromellose (in tablets).
• Oral solutions may contain water, preservatives and stabilizers.

The composition is balanced to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the drug when the recommended dosages are observed.

How to use?

Solian is used strictly as prescribed by a doctor, since its dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific diagnosis and the patients condition. Before starting therapy, it is important to read the instructions and follow all the specialists recommendations.

General recommendations for use:

1. Tablets are taken orally with a sufficient amount of water. The drug can be taken regardless of food intake, but it is important to maintain regularity.
2. The dosage depends on the severity of the symptoms. The initial dose is usually from 400 to 800 mg per day, but in some cases the doctor may adjust it.
3. The duration of treatment is determined individually. Some patients take the drug for a long time to maintain a stable condition.

It is important not to change the dose or stop taking the drug on your own, even if the symptoms have improved. Abrupt withdrawal of Solian can lead to a deterioration in the condition, so the doctor usually reduces the dose gradually.

How does it work?

Solians mechanism of action is based on its ability to selectively interact with dopamine receptors in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating emotions, motivation, and cognitive functions. Its imbalance is often associated with mental disorders such as schizophrenia.

Solian primarily blocks D2 and D3 receptors, affecting dopaminergic activity in certain areas of the brain. This action helps eliminate symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, anxiety, and agitation. At the same time, the drug has a minimal effect on receptors for other neurotransmitters, which reduces the likelihood of side effects typical of other antipsychotics.

It is noteworthy that Solian has a dual effect. In low doses, it can have a stimulating effect, improving motivation and reducing apathy. In higher doses, the drug suppresses agitation and psychotic symptoms, helping to restore mental balance. Thanks to this, Solian is suitable for the treatment of various stages of schizophrenia and other psychoses.

Indications

Solian is used to treat a number of mental disorders, mainly associated with disturbances in perception, thinking and behavior. The drug is effective both in acute stages of psychosis and in maintenance therapy. Its use is aimed at eliminating symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients.

Main indications:

• Schizophrenia, including its productive (hallucinations, delusions) and negative symptoms (apathy, decreased social activity).
• Acute and chronic psychotic conditions.
• Anxiety disorders accompanied by agitation or nervous tension (in certain cases).
• Depressive states with signs of psychosis (as prescribed by a doctor).

Therapy using Solian improves the emotional state, reduces anxiety and restores the patients ability to social adaptation.

Contraindications

Despite the effectiveness of Solian, the drug has a number of contraindications that must be taken into account before starting treatment. Ignoring them can lead to a deterioration in the condition or the development of serious side effects.

The main contraindications include:

• Hypersensitivity to amisulpride or any of the excipients of the drug.
• Pheochromocytoma (adrenal tumor accompanied by excessive hormone secretion).
• Prolactin-dependent tumors, such as pituitary prolactinomas or breast cancer.
• Severe liver or kidney dysfunction.
• Childhood (the drug is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age).
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding (except in cases where the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus).

In addition, Solian should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy and in the elderly, as these conditions may increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Side effects

When treating with Solian, side effects may occur, as with any other medication. They usually depend on the dosage and individual response of the body. It is important to be attentive to your condition and report any adverse reactions to your doctor.

The most common side effects are:

• Drowsiness, dizziness, or a feeling of fatigue, especially at the beginning of therapy.
• Increased prolactin levels, which can cause menstrual irregularities in women or gynecomastia in men.
• Tremor, muscle stiffness, or other signs of extrapyramidal disorders.
• Weight gain due to changes in appetite or metabolism.
• Dry mouth, constipation, or other digestive disorders.

More rarely, more serious side effects may occur, such as abnormal heart rhythms, allergic reactions, or neuroleptic malignant syndrome. If any unusual symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor immediately.
