SPECIAL INFORMATION
In 2005, the FDA published a safety alert that notified the public about an increased risk of death when atypical antipsychotics were used to treat behavioral disorders in elderly patients with dementia (unapproved use). The majority of deaths were attributed to cardiovascular events (such as heart failure or sudden death) or from infections (mostly pneumonia).
Researchers in Austria demonstrated that ziprasidone is useful in different stages of Huntington's disease (HD). In one of these case studies, a 34-year-old woman with HD was unable to eat or dress without assistance. She was given ziprasidone and her chorea symptoms visibly decreased and her gait and fine motor tasks also improved over a few days.
In the second case study, a 61-year-old man with Huntington's disease was successfully treated with ziprasidone. Improvement was seen as early as the next day after start of treatment. In the third case study, a 42-year-old woman with HD was treated with ziprasidone and a clear improvement began two days after the start of treatment.
These studies show that this drug may be helpful in the treatment of chorea symptoms, since it does not impair fine motor tasks or gait as some typical antipsychotics do.
