Effects of Thioxanthene Containing Anti-Psychotic and Anti-Platelet Drug Combination on Mean Platelet Volume and Platelet Distribution Width in Rats

Abstract

Aim:To evaluate the combined and individual effects of thioxanthene containing antipsychotic and anti-platlet drug on Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) in rats. Methods: This investigational study comprised of 100 albino rats of both sexual orientation, they were of 300 g to 350 g. We got ten groups, in which each group consisted of 10 rats (n=10).Ozagrel was used as anti-platelet and Zuclopenthixol was used as thioxanthene containing antipsychotic. Rats were treated with defined doses of Ozagrel and thioxanthene containing antipsychotic (Zuclopenthixol) alone and in joined for three weeks (21 days). Blood test at 0, seventh, fourteenth and last day of study were taken. Mean Platelet Volume and Platelet Distribution Width were estimated from blood tests by using standard research center procedure. Results were accumulated and abridged by applying statistics. Correlation was framed between all days incentive to zero day values. Original Research ArticleResults: Anti-psychotic drug and antiplatelet drug both showed decrease in MPV with both doses highly significantly (p < 0.001) decrease associated with maximum doses alone and with combination group. In case of PDW all individual and minimum combination group showed increase in PDW values but significantly (p < 0.001) increase in maximum combination groups. Conclusion: Combination of both drugs can cause more decrease in MPV as compare to the individual and in case of PDW combination with maximum doses may cause decrease in values by opposing the results individual therapy. It indicated any Drug-Drug interaction between these two drugs regarding Mean platelet volume and Platelet distribution width.

Effects of a Typical Antipsychotic and Thromboxane A2 Synthase Inhibitor Drug Combination on Albumin and Total Protein Level With Different Doses in Rats

“…A scientist has prior revealed a stamped height in the serum dimensions of basic phosphatase (ALP), glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) in rabbits [15]. An antiplatelet drug (ozagrel sodium) which has TXA2 synthase inhibitor activity is used to treat the brain ischemia and zuclopenthixol belongs to atypical antipsychotic class of antipsychotic drugs, this drug is used to treat the psychotic issues and depression disorders [16]. Combined treatment with both drugs Bashir takes place in the patients who have thrombosis and psychotic illness comorbidity or in depression caused by stroke (post-stroke depression).…”
