Ziconotide (PRIALT; SNX-111) is a neuroactive peptide, which was approved by FDA in 2004 for the management of severe chronic pain in adult patients for whom intrathecal therapy is warranted, and who are intolerant of or refractory to other treatment, such as systemic analgesics, adjunctive therapies, or intrathecal morphine. Ziconotide acts as a selective N-type voltage-gated calcium channel blocker, which leads to a blockade of excitatory neurotransmitter release from the primary afferent nerve terminals.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

PRIALT (ziconotide) solution is intended for administration by or under the direction of a physician experienced in the technique of intrathecal administration and who is familiar with the drug and device labeling. PRIALT may be used for therapy undiluted (25 mcg/mL in 20 mL vial) or diluted (100 mcg/mL in 1 or 5 mL vials). The 100 mcg/mL formulation may be administered undiluted once an appropriate dose has been established.
