  1. Schizophrenia: Pimozide is effective in managing the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations (auditory, visual, or tactile), delusions (false beliefs), disorganized thinking, and agitation. It helps to reduce the severity and frequency of psychotic episodes and improve overall functioning in individuals with schizophrenia.

  2. Delusional Disorders: Pimozide is also used to treat delusional disorders characterized by persistent, non-bizarre delusions (fixed false beliefs) that are not attributable to other psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia or mood disorders. Pimozide helps to reduce the intensity of delusional symptoms and improve insight into the irrationality of the beliefs.

  3. Tourette Syndrome: Pimozide is sometimes prescribed off-label for the treatment of Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Pimozide may help to reduce the frequency and severity of tics, although its use in Tourette syndrome is less common than other medications such as antipsychotics or alpha-2 adrenergic agonists.

  4. Antipsychotic Action: Pimozide exerts its therapeutic effects by blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the brain. By inhibiting dopamine transmission, pimozide helps to reduce the hyperactivity of dopamine pathways implicated in psychotic symptoms. This dopamine-blocking action is thought to underlie its antipsychotic properties.

  5. Maintenance Therapy: Pimozide may be used for long-term maintenance therapy in individuals with chronic psychotic disorders to prevent relapse and stabilize symptoms over time. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is necessary to assess treatment response, manage side effects, and adjust dosage as needed.

  6. Side Effects: Pimozide can cause a range of side effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms (such as tremors, rigidity, and dystonia), sedation, weight gain, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and sexual dysfunction. In some cases, pimozide may also prolong the QT interval on electrocardiogram (ECG), increasing the risk of cardiac arrhythmias, particularly torsades de pointes.

  7. Monitoring: Due to its potential for adverse effects, including cardiac effects, individuals taking pimozide require regular monitoring of vital signs, ECG, and blood tests to assess cardiac function and metabolic parameters. Close supervision by a healthcare provider is essential throughout treatment with pimozide.

  8. Contraindications: Pimozide is contraindicated in individuals with a history of QT prolongation, cardiac arrhythmias, severe cardiovascular disease, or hypersensitivity to the medication. It should not be used concomitantly with certain medications that may interact with pimozide or prolong the QT interval.

Impacted of pimozide,(prescription) On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by pimozide,(prescription)

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of pimozide,(prescription) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
