APPLICATION OF ANTIPSYCHOTICS OF LONG-TERM ACTION IN SCHIZOPHRENIA

Abstract

This literature review addresses the effectiveness and safety of long-acting antipsychotic therapy for schizophrenia. The results of randomized trials of recent years are described in detail. The efficacy of taking drugs at the following key research points was examined: the general clinical impression of the severity of the condition (CGI-S), the general clinical impression of the change in state during treatment (CGI-I), and the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS). A systematic literature search was conducted using the Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, elibrary, and other databases.
