This narrative review highlights the usefulness of long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) as maintenance therapy for patients with schizophrenia during the pandemic. The analysis of relevant literature and psychiatric survey data revealed diverse trends in LAIs prescription and patient adherence with oral antipsychotics. Although some studies have reported a decrease in LAIs prescriptions owing to pandemic-related disruptions, others have suggested stable patient adherence with oral antipsychotics. Approximately 70% of Japanese psychiatrists reported an increase in schizophrenia relapse rates in a survey, underscoring the critical role of LAIs in maintaining therapeutic stability. The potential benefits of LAIs with extended dosing intervals have been highlighted, including improving oral medication adherence and reducing the frequency of hospital visits. In conclusion, this review emphasizes the continued need for uninterrupted LAIs therapy in conjunction with community and home-based care despite the disruptions caused by the coronavirus disease pandemic.

MethodsThe study analyzed TD and EPS cases reported in the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database between April 2011 and March 2021. The cases were stratified by the diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and depressive disorders. ResultsIn total, 800 patients including a total of 171 TD cases and 682 EPS cases were reported in the JADER database across psychiatric diagnosis. The cases were caused by first-generation antipsychotics (FGA, TD: n = 105, EPS: n = 245) and second-generation antipsychotics (SGA, TD: n = 144, EPS: n = 598). The SGA were categorized based on Neuroscience-based Nomenclature (NbN) regarding pharmacological domain and mode of action, which were reported evenly as the offending agents. Among reported treatment and outcome in TD cases (n = 67, 37.6%) and EPS cases (n = 405, 59.3%), the relatively limited number of TD cases were reported as recovered/improved was also limited (n = 32, 47.8%) compared to those of EPS cases (n = 266, 65.7%).
