Remoxipride (Roxiam) is anatypical antipsychotic (although according to some sources it is atypical antipsychotic) which was previously used inEurope for the treatment ofschizophrenia and acutemania but was withdrawn due totoxicity concerns (incidence ofaplastic anemia in 1/10,000 patients).[2] It was initially launched byAstraZeneca in 1990 and suspension of its use began in 1993.[2] Remoxipride acts as aselectiveD2 andD3 receptorantagonist and also has highaffinity for thesigma receptor, possibly playing a role in its atypical neuroleptic action.[3]
Due to its short half-life twice daily (bid) dosing is required, although a once-daily controlled-release tablet has been developed.[4] There was some interest in its use in the treatment of treatment-resistant schizophrenia.[5][6]
