TIAPRADE 50

Tiaprade 50 is a prescription tablet from Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. that contains Tiapride Hydrochloride 50 mg. Tiapride is a selective dopamine D2 and D3 receptor blocker that belongs to the benzamide group of medicines. Doctors in India prescribe tiapride hydrochloride for conditions linked to agitation, aggression and abnormal movements. These include agitation and aggressive behaviour in elderly patients, restlessness, anxiety and tremor during alcohol withdrawal, and certain involuntary movement disorders such as chorea and tardive dyskinesia. Because tiapride acts mainly in the parts of the brain that control mood, behaviour and movement, it is often chosen when a doctor wants a calming effect with a lower tendency toward heavy sedation. It is a medicine for short or carefully monitored use, taken only as your doctor directs.

Product Information 

Why Is It Important?

Agitation, aggression and withdrawal symptoms are distressing for patients and for the families caring for them. In an elderly person, sudden restlessness or aggressive behaviour can lead to falls, sleepless nights and caregiver burnout. During alcohol withdrawal, untreated anxiety, tremor and agitation can make it much harder for a person to complete detoxification safely, which raises the risk of relapse. Involuntary movements can affect eating, walking and dignity in daily life. Tiapride gives doctors a targeted option for these situations, working on dopamine pathways in the limbic system while having a smaller effect on movement control at usual doses than many older antipsychotics. That said, tiapride is a prescription medicine with real risks, including drowsiness, hormonal effects and, rarely, heart rhythm changes, so it must be used at the lowest effective dose, for the shortest time, with regular review by the treating doctor. Never start, stop or adjust it on your own, and never share it with others.
