Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological Effects: Sulpiride exerts its antipsychotic effects by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, leading to a reduction in psychotic symptoms. It also has mild antidepressant properties and can improve mood and motivation in some patients.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have shown that sulpiride is as effective as other antipsychotic medications in managing schizophrenia symptoms. A study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry found that sulpiride was well-tolerated and significantly improved symptoms in patients with acute schizophrenia.
