INAPSINE vs TINDAL
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Butyrophenone antipsychotic; antagonizes dopamine D2 receptors in the CNS, also exhibits alpha-adrenergic blocking activity.
TINDAL (trimethoprim) inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), preventing the reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, thereby inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis.
IM: 2.5-10 mg every 3-4 hours as needed; IV: 2.5-10 mg slow IV push (over 2-3 minutes), repeat every 30-60 minutes as needed; maximum total dose 20 mg.
TINDAL (ticarcillin disodium + clavulanate potassium) 3.1 g (ticarcillin 3 g + clavulanic acid 0.1 g) IV every 4-6 hours. Maximum dose: 18 g ticarcillin/0.6 g clavulanic acid per day.

Terminal elimination half-life is 10-22 hours (mean 14.5 hours) in adults; may be prolonged in elderly or patients with hepatic impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12-15 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged in renal impairment.
Primarily renal (50-70% as unchanged drug and metabolites); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for approximately 20-30%.
Primarily renal excretion of unchanged drug (70-80%) and hepatic metabolism (20-30%).
