Red Yeast Rice (RYR) supplementation in patients treated with second-generation antipsychotics.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that RYR, at the daily dose of 200 mg for 30 days, could be a promising agent to prevent and/or treat SGAs-induced hyperlipidemia. However, future adequately-powered and well-designed studies with long-term follow-up should evaluate RYR effectiveness, as an alternative option to statins, on the SGAs-induced metabolic side effects.
