Trinicalm Plus 5 Mg/2 Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 60 years old from Bangalore

I am 59 years old, Schizophrenic since 1987. I was put on various drugs since then and got relief. Of late, I am having hallucinations and delusions and hence am prescribed Trinicalm Plus 1-0-1 and Sizopin 50 mg 0-0-1. There is relief. But Trifluoperazine is causing me mild itching. My Psychiatrist has told me that this drug is also an anti-histamine and hence itching might be due to something else, but to take cetrizine, if only itching persists. I am taking cetrizine 10 mg 1-0-0, since a week and there is no itching. My question is whether to continue cetrizine as long as I am on Trifluoperazine or just stop after taking for a week? Also confirm whether cetrizine has got any side effects or is it habit forming? KIndly be specific in answers.

This combination is OK, no problem in this combination. Dose trifluoperazine is also OK, not to worry. It is also safe in diabetes and asthma. If you have not any symptoms on this combination than its OK. Continue same.
Follow regularly to psychiatrist.

Asked for male, 60 years old from Bangalore

Dear Lybrate doctor, I need not have to tell you about my mental condition and the drugs taken to counter them, since I have elaborated them in my previous texts. You have been very patient in answering queries, not bothering about the times I ask them. I have a lot of trust in you and my queries are purely a second opinion detail, before being thrown into the fray right away. Depression and anxiety are taken care of by nexito forte & clonotril .25 mg and hence there are no issues here. The main problem is to find a suitable combination to counter my schizophrenia. As mentioned to you in my previous queries, I have tried so many combinations, some with relief and some found wanting. Due to financial constraints, I am unable to afford for costly drugs. The latest combination goes this way:- 1)trinicalm plus 1-0-1. 2)sizopin 75 mg 0-0-1. This combination is cheap and hence affordable. My query is:- can this combination be taken together or either they are contraindicated or there will be any drug interactions. Also, highlight me about trifluoperazine (trinicalm plus), it’s uses, side effects and drug interactions. At present, for depression/anxiety, I am on nexito forte along with clonotril 0.25 mg and sizopin and cizorest for schizophrenia. There is relief please answer my queries. Thanks.

It is not clear as to what medications you are currently taking. Is it cizorest or trinicalm? In both cases there are no drug interactions and if you have any it would be an isolated or rare event. I however would like for you to consult your psychiatrist regarding any issues that you may have. You are also welcome to consult us online.

Sir I am suffering from schizophrenia doctor prescribed me trinicalm forte along with laser 6 mg, Resneex and sempneex 200 mg (amisulpride tablet. I am not getting any more benefits from especially trinicalm forte please advice me the substitute of this tablet (trinicalm forte)

Dear lybrate-user,
Trinicalm forte belongs to older first generation antipsychotic. You can replace it with newer second generation antipsychotic like Amisulpride. But the dosage of amisulpride needs to be fixed, depending on your improvement and side effects.
Discuss with your psychiatrist about it. May be, she/he is in the process of shifting you from trinicalm forte to amisulpride.

It can be given, but there can be some drowsiness or tiredness and it is preferable not to drive vehicles, or handle dangerous machinery.

Health Query

My father has Schizophrenia since 1996. He was taking emelzine plus but after non availability of this drug he started taking trinicalm plus. And my father does not know that he is taking it for mental disorder, as he is also a heart patient, he thinks that trinicalm plus is a heart disease medicine. And as he is totally normal now, we do not want to take him to the psychiatrist. So my question is, is trinicalm plus is safe if it is used for life long?

Good afternoon,
Although there is no simple answer to your question, weighing the benefits that are way more than the long-term side effects of the medication, it might be best for your father to be on the medication rather than go off of it.
Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment online with me on this website either text, audio or video appointment for a confidential and private consultation you may do so by contacting the help desk of Lybrate.

Psychologist•Palakkad

Dear Lybrate user. I can understand. Recent reports have raised the concern that clozapine increases the risk for diabetes mellitus. Accurate pharmacoepidemiologic data on whether such a hazard exists and its magnitude are needed to enable clinicians and patients to make proper treatment decisions about clozapine. I suggest you to consult your psychiatrist for more clear insight. Take care.
