Anti-anxiety agent.
Definition
ChEBI: Tandospirone citrate is a citrate salt of tandospirone , comprising equimolar amounts of citric acid and tandospirone. It is an anxiolytic drug used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. It has a role as an anxiolytic drug and an antidepressant. It contains a tandospirone(1+).
Pharmacology
Tandospirone citrate is a partial agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine type 1A (5-HT1A) receptor,which selectively binds to the 5-HT1A receptor in the brain. The anti-anxiety effect is exerted by inhibiting the activities of the 5-HT1A system via selectively stimulating the 5-HT1A receptor widely distributed in these sites.
Side effects
The most common adverse reactions to Tandospirone citrate include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, nausea, malaise, rash, urticaria and pruritus. In addition, there are some symptoms that require special attention, such as those related to hepatic insufficiency and jaundice: general malaise, loss of appetite, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.
