Polypharmacy in antipsychotic pharmacological treatment among patients with dual diagnosis in Denmark

CONCLUSION: Approximately three-quarters of admitted patients were treated with antipsychotic medication. Antipsychotic polypharmacy was observed across all psychiatric disorder categories, indicating potential off-label use. Addressing antipsychotic polypharmacy during treatment is challenging, even for specialised facilities. Rational antipsychotic prescribing, deprescribing protocols, and further prescription pattern research are needed.PMID:37938028 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2277820
