Assessment of Monitoring and Management Practices of Antipsychotic-Induced Hyperprolactinemia at a Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Adherence to evidence-based treatment guidelines can improve patient quality of life and therapeutic compliance.PMID:38485677 | DOI:10.2174/0115748863280407240305070905
