Hainaptin Tablet (Sodium Thiopental)

Adult dose

○ Adults: Administer 12.5 mg of tianeptine sodium per dose orally 3 times daily before meals. ○ Limit administration to twice daily in patients aged 70 years or older or in patients with renal impairment. ○ The dose may be adjusted according to symptoms. ○ Abrupt discontinuation of treatment should be avoided. To reduce the risk of withdrawal reactions, gradually reduce the dose over 7 ~ 14 days. (Refer to the ‘General Precautions’ section of the Precautions for Use.)

This medication is used for the treatment of depression; however, it may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or self-harm, so patients should be closely monitored for several weeks after treatment initiation. Particular caution is required for patients with a history of suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts. It should not be administered to children under 15 years of age, patients with certain genetic disorders, or those taking specific medications. During the use of this medication, various side effects such as reduced appetite, nightmares, insomnia, dizziness, and palpitations may occur, so if any abnormal symptoms arise, immediate consultation with healthcare professionals is necessary. If undergoing surgery or general anesthesia, it is important to inform the medical staff about the use of this medication in advance, and it may be temporarily discontinued if necessary. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be avoided during the use of this medication, and sudden discontinuation may cause withdrawal symptoms, so dosage should be gradually reduced according to the physician's instructions. Caution is advised as drowsiness or decreased concentration may occur when operating machinery or driving. Elderly patients or those with impaired kidney function may require dosage adjustment, and regular testing is important due to the risk of electrolyte imbalances such as hyponatremia. In the case of overdose, decreased consciousness or coma may occur, so immediate emergency treatment is necessary, and the medication should be kept in a safe place out of reach of children.
