摘要

一名患有痴呆症的老年男性因攻击性和烦躁不安而入院。他最初接受了利培酮、西酞普兰和美金刚的治疗,以及非药物干预,如行为方法、环境改变和保持睡眠常规而不改善。他接受了添加α-1肾上腺素受体拮抗剂哌唑嗪的治疗,随后减少了维持适当行为所需的抗精神病药物剂量。普拉佐辛在这名有严重心脏病史和收缩功能差的患者中耐受性良好。普唑嗪可能是一种相对安全有效的药物,用于治疗痴呆症患者(包括合并心脏病患者)的躁动和攻击性。在该患者中,哌唑嗪的耐受性比使用的其他药物更好。

Successful treatment of agitation and aggression with prazosin in an elderly patient with dementia and comorbid heart disease

An elderly male with dementia was admitted for increasing aggression and agitation. He was initially treated with risperidone, citalopram, and memantine, as well as nonpharmacological interventions such as behavioral approaches, environmental modifications, and maintaining sleep routines without improvement. He was treated with the addition of the alpha-1 adrenoreceptor antagonist prazosin, with a subsequent reduction in the number of doses of antipsychotic medication needed to maintain appropriate behavior. Prazosin was well tolerated in this patient who had a significant history of heart disease and poor systolic function. Prazosin may represent a relatively safe and effective medication for the treatment of agitation and aggression in patients with dementia, including patients with comorbid cardiac conditions. In this patient, prazosin was better tolerated than the other medications utilized.
