|
As novel antipsychotic agents are introduced, the needs for practical guidelines on switching medications is becoming increasingly important. Cross-tapering is generally the most acceptable methods of switching, although abrupt change may be used in some cases. The important goal of antipsychotic agents switching guidelines is to reduce adverse effect of antipsychotic agents and to minimize the aggravation of the psychiatric symptoms during the switching periods. Recently, drug switching to novel antipsychotics is increased. In this article authors reviewed previous clinical studies on the antipsychotic medications switching.
