hasten, reduce
considerations with antipsychotic drug therapy (6)
-no step therapy
doses per day
SE
previous drug therapy
cost
concomitant disease drug therapy
need for monitoring: labs? weight? ECG?
most common antipsychotic agent used
haloperidol (ruotine and prn use)
-typical antipsychotic
Which agents, atypical or typical, cause more EPS?
more EPS seen in higher potency typicals
which is more effective for treating positive Sx, typical or atypical?
typical, however, they are more likely to worsen negative and cognitive Sx
partial agonists (aripiprazole, brexpiprazole, cariprazine) have ______ for akathisia (increased/decreased)
increased
partial agonists (aripiprazole, brexpiprazole, cariprazine) are approved for adjunct tx in _____ and come with a boxed warning for ________
depression, suicidal thinking
aripiprazole considerations (3)
2D6 and 3A4 substrate
moderate akathisia
low weight gain
brexpiprazole considerations (3)
2D6 and 3A4 substrate
moderate akathisia
low-moderate weight gain
cariprazine considerations (3)
3A4 substrate
moderate akathisia
low-moderate weight gain
the “pine’s” considerations (asenapine, clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine) (4)
more 5HT2A antagonism, less D2 antagonism
less EPS
more weight gains
smoking is not a CI but still warn pts to be cautious
asenapine considerations (3)
patch (q24h, rotate sites) and SL tab
1A2 substrate
QTc prolongation
clozapine substrate
1A2 substrate
clozapine boxed warnings
bradycardia, syncope, seizures, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy
clozapine SE
sedation, weight gain (most of all of pines), constipation, hypersalivation, dry mouth, QTc prolongation
olanzapine
1A2 substrate
significant weight gain and sedation
high risk metabolic syndrome
DRESS warning
quetiapine
3A4 substrate
QTc prolongation
weight gain and sedation
boxed warning for suicidal ideation
clozapine monitoring timelines for ANC (absolute neutrophil count) due to risk of infection
monitoring timelines weekly x 6 months, biweekly x 6 months, then every 4 weeks
normal ANC level on clozapine
1500 per microliter
Samidorphan (olanzapine/samidorphan combo product) acts on ______ receptors and can cause _______
opioid, opioid withdrawal
the “done’s” (iloperidone, lurasidone, ziprasidone, risperidone, paliperidone)
D2 and 5HT2A antagonists
variable EPS and metabolic effects
iloperidone considerations
high risk for orthostasis and syncope
QTc prolongation
2D6 substrate
