Abstract

: A Case ReportAsenapine is one of the newer atypical antipsychotics on the market. It is a sublingually administered drug that is indicated for the treatment of both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and is considered to be safe and well tolerated. Herein, we report a 71-year-old female with a history of bipolar disorder who had ventricular trigemini and experienced a large increase in her QTc interval after starting treatment with asenapine. These changes ceased following withdrawal of asenapine. In this case report, we discuss the importance of cardiac monitoring when switching antipsychotics, even to those that are considered to have low cardiac risk.

Özet

Piyasadaki en yeni antipsikotiklerden biri olan asenapin dilaltı biçiminin hem şizofreni hem de bipolar bozukluk için endikasyonu vardır. Asenapinin güvenli olduğu ve iyi tolere edildiği kabul edilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda asenapin tedavisi başlandıktan sonra düzeltilmiş QT aralığında uzama saptanan bipolar bozukluğu olan 71 yaşındaki bir kadın hasta ele alınmaktadır. Hastanın EKG'sindeki değişiklikler asenapinin kesilmesinin ardından düzelmiştir. Bu yazıda kardiyak açısından düşük riskli olsa bile yeni bir antipsikotik ilaca geçerken kardiyak monitörizasyonun önemi tartışılmıştır.
