We aimed to report a case with rhabdomyolysis related to hyponatremia and/or its correction. A 32-year-old male schizophrenic patient on ziprasidone treatment was admitted to the hospital following a seizure. Patient had primary polydipsia and secondarily developed hyponatremia. After the correction of hyponatremia, due to the high liver enzyme levels, he was diagnosed as rhabdomyolysis. Although the role of antipsychotics in this situation is speculative, development of rhabdomyolysis related to hyponatremia and/or its correction should not be underestimated and should be assessed thoroughly.

Sexual dysfunctions (SD) are common and debilitating side effects of antipsychotics. The current study analyzes the occurrence of antipsychotic-related SD using data from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). FAERS was queried for sexual dysfunction adverse events (encoded by 35 different MedDRA preferred terms) secondary to amisulpride, aripiprazole, chlorprothixene, clozapine, haloperidol, loxapine, olanzapine, pipamperone, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone from 2000 to 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review analyzed 10 studies involving 523 patients to evaluate how various antipsychotic medications impact the QTc interval in youngsters.
  • Results indicated that risperidone and aripiprazole had minimal QTc effects, while other drugs like quetiapine and pimozide showed varying levels of prolongation, highlighting a need for more research and careful monitoring when prescribing these medications.

Objective: Many antipsychotic drugs have cardiac side effects due to their pharmacological actions. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis can be used as a potential indicator of cardiotoxicity in cases where a decrease in HRV occurs after the administration of antipsychotics such as clozapine. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of 6 antipsychotic drug regimens on short-term HRV in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective: This study aims to compare the risks of different antipsychotics in causing hyperprolactinemia, taking into account the age, gender, and onset time.

Materials And Methods: We searched the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from January 1, 2004, to March 31, 2022, for reports of hyperprolactinemia treated with antipsychotics. We evaluated the association between antipsychotics and the risk of hyperprolactinemia using reporting odds ratio (ROR) based on a disproportionality analysis.
