Ziconotide, sold under the brand name Prialt among others, is a medication used for severe chronic pain.[1] It is given by injection into the space around the spinal cord.[1] Use is not recommended as of 2007 by NHS Scotland.[3] The dose used is generally slowly increased over 3 weeks.[1]
Common side effects include dizziness, confusion, headache, nystagmus, and sleepiness.[1][2] Serious side effects may include psychosis or meningitis.[1] It works by blocking neurons that sense pain by binding to N-type calcium channels.[1] It is not an opioid.[1]
Ziconotide was approved for medical use in the United States in 2004 and Europe in 2005.[1][2] It was originally made from the venom of the snail Conus magus.[1] Though is now a manufactured form of a ω-conotoxin peptide.[4] In 2012 45 days of medication cost about 730 USD to 4,400 USD in the United States.[5]
