Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Echolalia:

1.	Isoniazid (Ftivazide)FDA LinkGeneric 06/01/2015 - "We describe a case of 54-year-old female on anti-tubercular therapy with onset of psychosis within three days of Isoniazid initiation characterised by agitation, loosening of association, echolalia with spontaneous remission after drug stoppage. "
2.	Sertraline (Zoloft)FDA LinkGeneric 05/01/2008 - "The emergence of echolalia while taking sertraline in a patient with Tourette's syndrome."
3.	GABA Receptors (GABA Receptor)IBA 09/01/2006 - "Postoperative echolalia and catatonia responsive to gamma aminobutyric acid receptor agonists in a liver transplant patient."
4.	Serotonin (5 Hydroxytryptamine)IBA 09/01/1988 - "Principal component analysis showed: 1) a significant correlation between basic lymphocyte mitogenic activity and the clinical symptoms opposition and hyperactivity, 2) a significant correlation between high Ig levels, high PHA stimulation responses and the main autistic symptoms (withdrawal, inaffectivity, hypoactivity, mannerism, stereotypy and negatively echolalia), 3) a significant correlation with serotonin uptake by platelets and high immunological responses. "
5.	Phencyclidine (Angel Dust)IBA 12/01/2014 - "Observed signs and symptoms such as tachycardia (112 bpm), hypertension (220/125 mmHg), echolalia, confusion, agitation, opisthotonus, nystagmus and amnesia were consistent with phencyclidine-induced adverse effects. "
6.	Lorazepam (Ativan)FDA LinkGeneric 12/01/2004 - "Chronic 'speech catatonia' with constant logorrhea, verbigeration and echolalia successfully treated with lorazepam: a case report."
7.	tranilast (N 5')IBA 10/15/2010 - "In addition, all patients presented with multiple tic-related symptoms (mainly self-injurious behaviors and echolalia, n = 7; palilalia, n = 6; coprolalia/mental coprolalia, n = 5), and six patients had comorbid conditions (in particular obsessive-compulsive disorder/behaviors, n = 7; attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, n = 4). "
8.	bipiperidyl mustard (BPM)IBA 12/01/2014 - "Observed signs and symptoms such as tachycardia (112 bpm), hypertension (220/125 mmHg), echolalia, confusion, agitation, opisthotonus, nystagmus and amnesia were consistent with phencyclidine-induced adverse effects. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Language Therapy (Language Training) 01/01/1987 - "We evaluated the direct and generalized effects of cues-pause-point language training procedures on immediate echolalia and correct responding in two severely retarded females. " 08/01/1977 - "In terms of therapy, these findings would support the use of echolalia as a basis for language training."
2.	Transplants (Transplant) 09/01/2006 - "Postoperative echolalia and catatonia responsive to gamma aminobutyric acid receptor agonists in a liver transplant patient."
3.	Transplantation (Transplant Recipients) 08/15/2004 - "Echolalia in a liver transplant recipient."
4.	Therapeutics 12/01/2004 - "[Considerations about echolalia in children with Asperger's syndrome: proposing an approach for language therapeutics]."
5.	Sign Language 10/01/2015 - "echolalia, palilalia, coprolalia or mental coprolalia) are elicited in deaf people, they occur usually in British Sign Language (BSL): the more "basic" vocal/phonic tics such as throat clearing are the same phenomenologically as in hearing TS people. "
