Prialt--brand new chronic pain med... psych uses?

Posted by Ame Sans Vie on January 24, 2004, at 7:02:06

Prialt (ziconotide--http://docmd.com/ziconotide/index.asp), has completed Phase III testing and is approved as a new non-opioid treatment for chronic AIDS/cancer/etc pain. It's an "N-type calcium channel blocker". I'm not sure what "N-type" means exactly, but nifedipine and many other antihypertensives are calcium channel blockers... not that it has anything to do with... well... anything, lol. I haven't done much reading at all into it as of yet, and am just curious as to your opinions re: whether or not it has potential for psychiatric use.
