Intervals between long acting neuroleptics: outcome and re-admission variables
Abstract:
A drug monitoring programme has evaluated flexibility in the use of treatment intervals with Depot Fluphenazine. In this large group of schizophrenics over 30% receive injections at intervals of over 3 weeks or longer, with an overall relapse rate of 24%. Analysis of the intervals reveals in those who relapse, that 20% of cases increased their interval by an average of 7 weeks. Generally, there was an increase in intervals by the patients in the second year of treatment.
