Abstract
Introduction: The effects of antipsychotic drugs are dose-dependent, which is particularly true for their efficacy, each antipsychotic having a specific dose-response curve. This may justify individualizing doses for these agents.
Areas covered: We review the pharmacokinetic profiles of seven oral antipsychotics: haloperidol, risperidone, olanzapine, clozapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone, and aripiprazole. Their main indications are psychotic and affective disorders. They are prescribed in a very large population which may have comorbidities. Hence, we analyze the impact of the latter on the pharmacokinetic profiles of these antipsychotics, focusing on renal and hepatic impairment. Reviews and clinical trials were discussed based on a systematic literature search (PubMed) ranging from 1995 to 2022.
Expert opinion: Factors liable to impact antipsychotic dosage are numerous and their subsequent effects often hard to predict, due to multilevel interactions and compensatory phenomena. In clinical practice, physicians must be aware of these potential effects, but base their decisions on monitoring antipsychotic plasma levels.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology (ISSN 1742-5255 [print], 1744-7607 [electronic]) is a MEDLINE-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal publishing review articles on all aspects of ADME-Tox. Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the scope for future development.
The Editors welcome:
Reviews covering metabolic, pharmacokinetic and toxicological issues relating to specific drugs, drug-drug interactions, drug classes or their use in specific populations; issues relating to enzymes involved in the metabolism, disposition and excretion of drugs; techniques involved in the study of drug metabolism and toxicology; novel technologies for obtaining ADME-Tox data.
Drug Evaluations reviewing the clinical, toxicological and pharmacokinetic data on a particular drug.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacologists, clinical toxicologists and related professionals.
