Description

Perazine (Taxilan) is a moderate-potency typical antipsychotic of the phenothiazine class. Perazine is an older antipsychotic drug first introduced in the 1950s. It is suggested to have a low level of side effects (especially for movement disorders). Its use is regional and restricted to countries like Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and the former Yugoslavia. Perazine has being shown to be a potent inhibitor of human CYP1A2. It acts as a dopamine antagonist.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: In acutely ill and severely disturbed patients 50 mg perazine at time-intervals of 30 minutes can be administered intramuscularly
The customary dose range recommended for this antipsychotic under in-patient conditions is 75-600 mg/day (maximum 1000 mg/day).
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
About 80% of basal human CYP1A2 activity was reduced by the therapeutic concentrations of perazine (5-10 uM).
