The starting dose is 50-100mg of Sulpiride/time, twice a day, then gradually increase to an effective dose. Renal impairment: Depending on the creatinine clearance, the dose should be reduced or the interval between doses increased.
In case of creatinine clearance 30 - 60ml/min: Sulpiride dose is 2/3 of normal human dose. In case of creatinine clearance 10 - 30ml/min: Use a dose of Sulpiride equal to 1/2 of the normal dose. In case of clearance less than 10ml/min: Use a dose of Sulpiride 1/3 of the normal dose. In addition, the interval between doses of Sulpiride can be increased from 1.5 times, 2 times and 3 times compared to normal people. However, patients with moderate to severe renal impairment should not use sulpiride. 3.3. What to do when overdose, forget dose of Maxdotyl? In case of Sulpiride overdose, patients may have dyskinesia with dystonia of the tongue and jaw stiffness, more severe Parkinson's-like syndrome, neuroleptic syndrome. In case of overdose, Maxdotyl can be used by hemodialysis to remove part of Sulpiride.
In addition, immediately contact the treating doctor or go to the Resuscitation - Emergency department at the nearest hospital.

Photochromic tumor. Patients with hypersensitivity to Sulpiride or any of its ingredients. Adrenal myeloma. Acute porphyria metabolism disorder. Central nervous system depression, alcohol poisoning, coma, neuroleptic drugs. Prolactin-dependent tumors such as breast cancer and prolactin pituitary adenoma.

Central nervous system depressants, Levodopa drugs. Alcohol increases the sedating effect of Sulpiride, so avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine.

Do not combine Sulpiride with non-Parkinsonian dopamine agonists such as: Quinagolid, Cabergolin, Rotigotin because they antagonize each other. Dopamine used with Sulpiride can cause or worsen mental disorders. In special cases where sedation is required for patients with Parkinson's disease who are receiving dopamine agonist therapy, the dose of Dopamine must be reduced gradually until it is completely stopped. due to neuroleptics. Morphine derivatives such as: analgesic, antitussive, neuroleptic. Sucralfate, aluminum/magnesium hydroxide antacids reduce the absorption of Sulpiride. Therefore, Maxdotyl should be taken about 2 hours after taking antacids. Lithium combined with Sulpiride will increase the ability of sulpiride to cause extrapyramidal disorders, increase the ability to bind Sulpiride to Dopaminergic D2 receptors in the brain. Concomitant use with antihypertensive drugs may increase the antihypertensive effect and cause orthostatic hypotension.
