Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Experimental studies in animals and in vitro have demonstrated that thioridazine has affinity for melanin granules and tends to accumulate in close association with uveal pigment ... .
... Pharmacokinetics and metabolism ... similar ... to chlorpromazine, but strong anticholinergic action of thioridazine on the gut may modify its own absorption ... . Concentrations of thioridazine in plasma are relatively high (hundreds of nanograms per milliliter), possibly owing to its relative hydrophilicity ... .
In 48 patients taking thiordazine the mean amount not bound to serum proteins was 0.15%, that of the side-chain sulfoxide 1.66%, side-chain sulfone 1.17%, and ring sulfoxide 1.7%.
Thioridazine and metabolites were measured in brain, liver, and kidney specimens, obtained postmortem from two subjects whose deaths were related to acute intoxication with thioridazine, by gas-liquid chromatography. Although the absolute concentration measured for thioridazine and metabolites differed in the two cases, the metabolic pattern for each tissue, expressed in terms of the percentage of total drug in each tissue, was quite similar. The brain, liver, and kidney metabolic patterns, however, are in sharp contrast to the plasma metabolite patterns observed for subjects on a therapeutic regimen of thioridazine. As this example demonstrates, postmortem specimens are a valuable (but seldom used) source of human pharmacological data.

Metabolism / Metabolites
Hepatic
Major metabolites include sulfoxy products at ring position 5 (inactive) or at substituent at position 2 (including active metabolite mesoridazine). Demethylation of piperidine ring is very rapid ... .
Although the exact metabolic fate of phenothiazines has not been clearly established, the drugs are extensively metabolized, principally in the liver via hydroxylation, oxidation, demethylation, sulfoxide formation, and conjugation with glucuronic acid; metabolic alterations in the side chain also may occur. /Phenothiazine General Statement/
Most metabolites of phenothiazines are pharmacologically inactive; however, certain metabolites (eg, 7-hydroxychlorpromazine, mesoridazine) show moderate pharmacologic activity and may contribute to the action of the drugs. There is limited evidence to indicate that some phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine) may induce their own metabolism. /Phenothiazine General Statement/
Thioridazine and metabolites were determined by a selective HPLC technique in blood from five post-mortem cases; two deaths attributed to drug overdose and three deaths due to natural causes or trauma. Additionally, total thioridazine-like compounds were determined in these blood samples and liver specimens by a nonspecific fluorometric technique. Blood concentrations were: thioridazine, 0.78-8.85 mg/L; mesoridazine, 0.52-26.8 mg/L; and sulforidazine, 0.00-0.87 mg/L. Thioridazine-5-sulfoxide stereoisomeric DL,LD, and DD,LL pair concentrations ranged from 0.02-0.56 and 0.03-0.83 mg/L, respectively. Thioridazine metabolite profiles were not helpful in differentiating therapeutic administration from severe overdose. Liver appears to be the specimen of choice in the assessment of thioridazine overdose.

Thioridazine has known human metabolites that include N-desmethylthioridazine, Thioridazine 2-sulfoxide, and Thioridazine 5-sulfoxide.
Sulphoridazine is a known human metabolite of schembl149458.

Biological Half-Life
21-25 hours
Serum half-life of thioridazine has been estimated to range from about 6 to over 40 hours.

Toxicity Summary
Thioridazine blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors in the brain; blocks alpha-adrenergic effect, depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones and is believed to depress the reticular activating system thus affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis.

Hepatotoxicity
Liver test abnormalities have been reported to occur in a high proportion of patients on long term phenothiazine therapy, but elevations are uncommonly above 3 times the upper limit of normal. The aminotransferase abnormalities are usually mild, asymptomatic and transient, reversing even with continuation of medication. Rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury have been reported due to thioridazine, with some resemblance to cases of chlorpromazine jaundice. The onset of jaundice occurred within a few weeks to several months of therapy and the pattern of serum enzyme elevations was typically cholestatic, although hepatocellular patterns have also been reported. Immunoallergic manifestations (fever, rash and eosinophilia) were not prominent and autoantibodies were not detected. Some cases were associated with agranulocytosis which is a rare but known complication of the phenothiazines.
Likelihood score: B (likely but rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
Because there is no published experience with thioridazine during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Phenothiazines cause galactorrhea in 26 to 40% of female patients. Hyperprolactinemia appears to be the cause of the galactorrhea. There is some evidence that thioridazine increases serum prolactin to a greater extent than other phenothiazines. The hyperprolactinemia is caused by the drug's dopamine-blocking action in the tuberoinfundibular pathway. The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.

Concurrent use /of other photosensitizing medications/ with phenothiazines may cause additive photosensitizing effects. In addition, concurrent use of systemic methoxsalen, trixsalen, or tetracyclines with phenothiazines may potentiate intraocular photochemical damage to the choroid, retina, or lens. /Phenothiazines/
Prior administration of phenothiazines may decrease the pressor effect and shorten the duration of action of phenylephrine. /Phenothiazines/
In addition to increased CNS and respiratory depression, concurrent use /of opiod (narcotic) analgesics/ with phenothiazines increases orthostatic hypotension and increases the risk of severe constipation, which may lead to paralytic ileus, and/or urinary retention. /Phenothiazines/

Therapeutic Uses
Antipsychotic Agents, Phenothiazine; Dopamine Antagonists
Thioridazine is indicated for the management of schizophrenic patients who fail to respond adequately to treatment with other antipsychotic drugs. Due to the risk of significant, potentially life threatening, proarrhythmic effects with thioridazine treatment, thioridazine should be used only in patients who have failed to respond adequately to treatment with appropriate courses of other antipsychotic drugs, either because of insufficient effectiveness or the inability to achieve an effective dose due to intolerable adverse effects from those drugs. Consequently, before initiating treatment with thioridazine, it is strongly recommended that a patient be given at least two trials, each with a different antipsychotic drug product, at an adequate dose, and for an adequate duration. /Included in US product label/
The prescriber should be aware that thioridazine has not been systematically evaluated in controlled trials in treatment refractory schizophrenic patients and its efficacy in such patients is unknown. /Included in US product label/
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently advises clinicians that antipsychotic agents are not approved for the treatment of dementia-related psychosis. FDA further advises clinicians that no drugs currently are approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-associated psychosis and that other management options should be considered in such patients. /Phenothiazine General Statement/

Drug Warnings
... Extrapyramidal reactions ... fairly common, usually 3 types ... Parkinsonian-like syndrome ... dystonia and dyskinesia, including torticollis, tics, and other involuntary muscle movements ... akathisia, shown by restlessness ... hyperreflexia, reported in newborn ... ./Phenothiazines/
Thioridazine has been shown to prolong the QTc interval in a dose related manner, and drugs with this potential, including thioridazine, have been associated with Torsades de pointes type arrhythmias and sudden death. Due to its potential for significant, possibly life threatening, proarrhythmic effects, thioridazine should be reserved for use in the treatment of schizophrenic patients who fail to show an acceptable response to adequate courses of treatment with other antipsychotic drugs, either because of insufficient effectiveness or the inability to achieve an effective dose due to intolerable adverse effects from those drugs
Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Analyses of seventeen placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about 4.5%, compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the patients is not clear. Thioridazine hydrochloride is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis
In common with other phenothiazines, thioridazine is contraindicated in severe central nervous system depression or comatose states from any cause including drug induced central nervous system depression. It should also be noted that hypertensive or hypotensive heart disease of extreme degree is a contraindication of phenothiazine administration.
