Brief Answer:
Half life of Sulpiride
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for asking from HCM
If we consider the half life of Sulpiride then its about 6-8 hours in most patients. In patients with renal issues the half life increases.
Yes the drug has cumulative effects. With progressive increase in the duration of therapy more pronounced effects are seen as compared to the effects seen during start of therapy.
Thanks, Hope this helps you.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your answer, i just have another question. If Sulpiride is cumulative, i still can have improvement after week four, since i guess there is a steady plasma concentration?
Thanks again, XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
You will see progressive improvement
Detailed Answer:
Hello again and thanks for asking again
Yes, even after taking drug for 4 weeks you can expect improvement. The drug shows progressive increase in effects for even 8 weeks of starting the treatment. So in my opinion you will see improvement after 4 weeks also.
