Study Notes
Drugs for the Treatment of Central Nervous System Disorders
- The chapter discusses drugs used to treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders, specifically psychiatric disorders.
- Three categories of functional disorders are discussed.
- Basic precautions for dental professionals when treating patients with psychiatric disorders are outlined.
- Antipsychotic agents, their mechanisms of action, adverse reactions, drug interactions, uses, and dental implications are discussed.
- First-generation antipsychotics and their associated side effects, along with their dental implications, are included.
- Second-generation antipsychotics and their side effects, drug interactions, uses, and dental implications are also discussed.
- Antidepressant agents, including mechanism of action, side effects, and drug interactions are detailed.
- Several other antidepressant types and their potential implications are listed.
- Several drugs used for bipolar disorder are listed.
- Psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, affective disorders, and neuroses are discussed.
- Characteristics of each of these disorders are outlined (e.g. schizophrenia; positive symptoms, negative effects).
- Communication and compliance issues with psychiatric patients are addressed.
- Specific drugs are listed and described for functional psychiatric disorders (e.g.: first generation antipsychotics and second-generation antipsychotics).
- Adverse drug reactions and dental implications are noted for many classes of drugs.
- Lists of specific drugs within the categories are included.
- Included is information about the mechanisms of action of various types of psychiatric drugs.
Antipsychotic Agents
- First-generation antipsychotics include: Fluphenazine, Haloperidol, Loxapine, Perphenazine, Thiothixene, and Chlorpromazine.
- Second-generation antipsychotics include: Aripiprazole, Asenapine, Clozapine, Iloperidone, Lurasidone, Olanzapine, Paliperidone, Risperidone, Ziprasidone.
- First-generation agents are primarily dopamine antagonists.
- Second-generation agents act on more than one receptor.
Antipsychotic Agents: Mechanism of Action
- First-generation agents primarily target dopamine receptors.
- Second-generation agents target multiple receptors.
- Agents produce slowing of psychomotor activity, calming of emotional responses, and suppression of hallucinations and delusions.
- Some agents have antiemetic properties.
First-Generation Antipsychotic Agents: Adverse Reactions
- Sedation is a common side effect.
- Extrapyramidal effects (including acute dystonia, parkinsonism, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia) are possible side effects.
- Orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, and seizures are also potential side effects.
- Anticholinergic effects may occur as well.
Second-Generation Antipsychotic Agents: Adverse Reactions
- Weight gain is associated with some agents (e.g. clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine).
- Agranulocytosis and granulocytopenia are possible side effects of clozapine.
- Hyperglycemia and diabetes are also potential adverse reactions
- Some agents may increase the risk of tachycardia (e.g., ziprasidone).
- Metabolic syndrome is a potential side effect associated with some agents.
Antipsychotic Agents: Drug Interactions
- Antipsychotics can interact with central nervous system (CNS) depressants, potentially increasing sedation and causing respiratory depression.
- Epinephrine can interact with antipsychotics, potentially causing hypotension.
- Antipsychotics can interact with anticholinergic agents by exhibiting additive anticholinergic effects.
Antipsychotic Agents: Uses
- Antipsychotics are commonly used to treat schizophrenia.
- They can also be used for their antiemetic effects (e.g., Prochlorperazine).
- Some are used for bipolar disorder.
- Others may be used to treat depression, intractable hiccups, or certain drug withdrawals.
Antipsychotic Agents: Dental Implications
- Use caution with patient interactions; some antipsychotics may cause xerostomia, and extrapyramidal effects which can affect TMJ.
- Oral hygiene instructions are necessary due to xerostomia and other potential effects.
- Epinephrine can safely be used; orthostatic hypotension is a possible side effect.
Antidepressant Agents
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and other antidepressant agents.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)
- Inhibit the reuptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT).
- May cause xerostomia, altered taste, aphthous stomatitis, glossitis, increased salivation, enlarged salivary glands, and tongue discoloration or edema.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) (specific drugs)
- Citalopram (Celexa)
- Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
- Escitalopram (Lexapro)
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
- Paroxetine (Paxil)
Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs)
- Inhibit the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine.
- Common side effects may include: sweating, tachycardia, urinary retention.
Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs)
- Potential side effects include: cardiac toxicity, effects similar to amphetamines and epinephrine, interactions with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) leading to severe toxic reactions.
- Additive anticholinergic effects are a concern.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs)
- Inhibit monoamine oxidase.
- Potential side effects include sleep disturbances, orthostatic hypotension, sexual dysfunction, and weight gain.
- Drug interactions result in overdose toxicities; specific prohibitions from diet and other medications are a concern.
Other Antidepressants: Bupropion (Wellbutrin [SR])
- Potential side effects may include: seizures, constipation, nausea, vomiting, xerostomia, headache, excessive sweating, tremors, agitation, and dizziness.
Trazodone (Desyrel)
- Advantages: Fewer anticholinergic effects, less cardiotoxic.
- Disadvantages: Sedative, associated with priapism.
Nefazodone, Mirtazapine, Vilazodone, and Vortioxetine
- Nefazodone (Serzone): 5-HT modulator; possibly causes xerostomia, increased serum levels of other medications, and hepatic failure.
- Mirtazapine (Remeron): 5-HT modulator; potential effects are somnolence, weight gain, and constipation.
- Vilazodone (Viibryd): Serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
- Vortioxetine (Trintellix)
Suicide and Antidepressants
- All antidepressants carry a black box warning regarding suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Dental Implications
- Sympathomimetic amines and second-generation antipsychotics may cause xerostomia.
Drugs for Treatment of Bipolar Depression: Lithium
- Potential side effects, including polyuria, fine hand tremor, thirst, slurred speech, ataxia, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
- Overdose toxicity may cause CNS symptoms, muscle rigidity, hyperactive deep reflexes, excessive tremors, and muscle fasciculation.
Antiepileptic Drugs
- Carbamazepine, Valproate, Gabapentin.
- Atypical antipsychotics (Olanzapine, Aripiprazole) may also be used as antiepileptic agents.
