Resolution of Ziprasidone-Induced Hyperprolactinemia with Aripiprazole / 대한정신약물학회지

ABSTRACT

Hyperprolactinemia is a frequent, serious adverse effect of antipsychotics. Ziprasidone seems to be less frequently associated with hyperprolactinemia than other antipsychotics. We report a case of 25-year-old woman who developed amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and hyperprolactinemia while taking ziprasidone, which resolved with the addition of aripiprazole. To our best knowledge, this is the first report that adjunctive aripiprazole attenuated ziprasidoneinduced hyperprolactinemia.
