The first two observations of human poisoning involving the recently developed neuroleptic amisulpride are described. In both cases drug determination was performed using reversed-phase HPLC coupled with diode array detection. Case 1 was a nonfatal overdosage in which the ingestion of 3.0 g amisulpride induced an attack of seizures, then light coma with agitation, hyperthermia, mydriasis, minimal extrapyramidal features, tachycardia and slight prolongation of the QT interval; the blood concentration of amisulpride was 9.63 micrograms ml-1. Case 2 was a fatality attributed to amisulpride in which the measured blood concentration was 41.70 micrograms ml-1. Our results are discussed in the light of data previously reported on the toxicity of substituted benzamides.

D014150 Antipsychotic Agents Agents that control agitated psychotic behavior, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. They are used in SCHIZOPHRENIA; senile dementia; transient psychosis following surgery; or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; etc. These drugs are often referred to as neuroleptics alluding to the tendency to produce neurological side effects, but not all antipsychotics are likely to produce such effects. Many of these drugs may also be effective against nausea, emesis, and pruritus.
