Eglonil is effective in helping symptoms such as hearing voices, loss of energy, thought disturbances, difficulties communicating with others, worry, depression, overcoming feelings of wanting to be alone as well as other symptoms of schizophrenia.
Contraindications and cautions:
Before taking Eglonil make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows:
• If you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breast-feeding.
• If you suffer from any heart problems.
• If you suffer from liver, kidney or breathing problems.
• If you suffer from Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, depression, or myasthenia gravis (a muscle weakening disease).
• If you suffer from prostate problems, phaeochromocytoma (a growth on the adrenal glands) or glaucoma.
• If you suffer from porphyria or another blood disorder.
• If you suffer from behaviour that makes you agitated, feel aggressive or easily get excitable.
• If you suffer from postural hypotension (if you become dizzy when getting up from a sitting or lying position).
• If you have had jaundice.
• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to this or any other medicine.
• If you are taking any other medicines, including those available to buy without a prescription, herbal and complementary medicines.
Side effects:
Along with their useful effects all medicines can cause unwanted side effects, which usually improve as your body adjusts to the new medicine. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following side effects continue or become troublesome.
Sulpiride is usually well tolerated with only minor side-effects occurring.
Drowsiness, weariness, agitation, diarrhoea or constipation, excitement and sleep disturbances may occur, as may changes in body weight and sexual drive. There may also be changes in menstruation (periods), breast problems, or sexual problems. Lowered blood pressure, skin rashes, difficulty in passing water and blurred vision may also occur. In a small number of people there may be shaking, restlessness, and abnormal face or body movements - speak with your doctor if these become troublesome. Very rarely, convulsions have occurred.
Important: If you notice jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes), or experience a skin rash, dark urine, itching or swelling of the tongue; or if you experience 'flu-like' symptoms such as sweating, stiffness, a high body temperature, abnormal paleness and a racing heartbeat, then contact your doctor or go to the Accident & Emergency department of your local hospital straight away.
Interactions: Tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. As with other psychotropic compounds, sulpiride may alter the effect of antihypertensives and increase the effect of CNS depressants including hypnotics, tranquillisers, neuroleptics, analgesics, anaesthetics and alcohol.
