Ziprasidone Information
(zi pray' si done)
Studies have shown that older adults with dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality) who use antipsychotics (medications for mental illness) such as ziprasidone injection have an increased risk of death during treatment. Older adults with dementia may also have a greater chance of having a stroke or mini stroke during treatment. Talk to your doctor about the risks of receiving ziprasidone injection.-
Before receiving ziprasidone injection,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to ziprasidone, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in ziprasidone injection. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor if you are taking amiodarone (Cordarone, Nexterone, Pacerone), arsenic trioxide (Trisenox), chlorpromazine, disopyramide (Norpace), dofetilide (Tikosyn), dolasetron (Anzemet), dronedarone (Multaq), droperidol (Inapsine), gatifloxacin (no longer available in the U.S.), ibutilide (Corvert), halofantrine (Halfan) (no longer available in the U.S.), levomethadyl (ORLAAM) (no longer available in the U.S.), mefloquine, mesoridazine (no longer available in the U.S.), moxifloxacin (Avelox), pentamidine (NebuPent, Pentam), pimozide (Orap), probucol (no longer available in the U.S.), procainamide, quinidine (in Nuedexta), sotalol (Betapace, Sorine, Sotylize), sparfloxacin (no longer available in the U.S.), tacrolimus (Astagraf, Prograf), or thioridazine. Your doctor may not prescribe ziprasidone if you are taking one or more of these medications. Other medications may also interact with ziprasidone, so be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, even those that do not appear on this list.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: antidepressants, carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol, Teril, others), certain antifungals such as ketoconazole (Extina, Nizoral), dopamine agonists such as bromocriptine (Cycloset, Parlodel), cabergoline, levodopa (in Sinemet), pergolide (Permax) (no longer available in the U.S.), and ropinirole (Requip), medications for high blood pressure, mental illness, seizures, or anxiety; and sedatives, sleeping pills, or tranquilizers. Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- tell your doctor if you have heart failure, QT prolongation (an irregular heart rhythm that can lead to fainting, loss of consciousness, seizures, or sudden death), or if you have recently had a heart attack. Your doctor will probably tell you not to receive ziprasidone injection.
- tell your doctor if you have or have had thoughts about harming or killing yourself, an irregular heartbeat, a stroke or ministroke, seizures, diabetes, dyslipidemia (high cholesterol levels), trouble keeping your balance, a low number of white blood cells, or heart, kidney, or liver disease. Also, tell your doctor if you low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood, if you use or have ever used street drugs or have overused prescription medications, or have trouble swallowing. Also, tell your doctor if you have severe diarrhea or vomiting or you think you may be dehydrated.
- ask your doctor about the safe use of alcoholic beverages while you are receiving ziprasidone injection. Alcohol can make the side effects from ziprasidone injection worse.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, especially if you are in the last few months of your pregnancy, or if you plan to become pregnant or are breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while receiving ziprasidone, call your doctor. Ziprasidone may cause problems in newborns following delivery if it is given during the last months of pregnancy.
- you should know that ziprasidone injection may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
- you should know that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this medication. Do not drink alcohol while receiving ziprasidone.
- you should know that you may experience hyperglycemia (increases in your blood sugar) while you are receiving this medication, even if you do not already have diabetes. If you have schizophrenia, you are more likely to develop diabetes than people who do not have schizophrenia, and receiving ziprasidone or similar medications may increase this risk. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms while you are receiving ziprasidone: extreme thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, blurred vision, or weakness. It is very important to call your doctor as soon as you have any of these symptoms, because high blood sugar that is not treated can cause a serious condition called ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis may become life-threatening if it is not treated at an early stage. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, breath that smells fruity, and decreased consciousness.
- you should know that ziprasidone injection may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting when you get up too quickly from a lying position. This is more common when you first start receiving ziprasidone. To avoid this problem, get out of bed slowly, resting your feet on the floor for a few minutes before standing up.
- you should know that ziprasidone injection may make it harder for your body to cool down when it gets very hot. Tell your doctor if you plan to do vigorous exercise or be exposed to extreme heat.
