Synergistic Effect of Vitamin E & D in Reducing Risk of Effects Associated With Atypical Anti-psychotics

Antipsychotics and Neuroleptics Toxicity Clinical Trial

Official title: Synergistic Effect of Vitamin E & D in Reducing the Risk of Effects Associated With Atypical Antipsychotics

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Atypical antipsychotic drugs are commonly used to treat psychiatric illnesses but they are significantly associated with side effects including acute dystonia, akathisia, parkinsonism (rigidity and tremor), tardive dyskinesia, bradycardia, hypotension, impotence, sleepiness, seizures, severe dreams or nightmares, and hyperprolactinaemia. Vitamin D and E, have been the focus of much research in the past fifteen years, which has revealed multiple roles in the development and function of the body. According to mounting data from the domains of epidemiology and neuroscience, vitamin D and E deficiency have been related to a number of neuropsychiatric issues as well as neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, antioxidants like vitamin E help to prevent inflammation and highly reactive oxygen molecules from damaging normal cells. The use of vitamin E and D supplements has been suggested to improve the overall outcomes of psychiatric illnesses and neurological diseases. However, the synergistic effect of vitamins E and D in reducing the risk of the adverse effects associated with atypical antipsychotics and improvement in psychiatric illness is not well understood. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the potential synergistic effect of vitamin E and D supplements for reducing the adverse effects associated with atypical antipsychotics.
