Sedation

Could you please tell me of any known indictions for the use of Nozinan ( Levopromazine ) in Alzheimer's.  I am aware of a lady with Alzheimer's ( 82 yrs )having been prescribed this drug for night sedation ( 3 months ago - 12.5mg PO HS ).  She currently exhibits excessive daytime sedation and confusion.  I was not previously familiar with this drug or it's use in Alzheimer's.  Could you comment on her side-effects and/or alternative drug therapies.

Many Thanks

Austin ( Medical Student)

Like yourself, I am not familiar with this medication for use in Alzheimers disease.

You may however, ask the pharmacy (nursing home or neighborhood pharmacy)to provide you the name of the manufacturer and you may call them directly and ask them for complete drug information.
