Antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) is common in the treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The literature indicates that APP is related to patient, illness, and treatment variables that are proxy measures for greater illness acuity, severity, complexity, and chronicity. The largely unknown relative risks and benefits of APP need to be weighed against the known risks and benefits of clozapine for treatment-resistant patients. To inform evidence-based clinical practice, controlled, high-quality antipsychotic combination and discontinuation trials are necessary to determine the effectiveness, safety, and role of APP in the management of severely ill patients with insufficient response to antipsychotic monotherapy.
抗精神病药联用(APP)在精神分裂症谱系障碍的治疗中很常见。文献表明,APP 与患者、疾病和治疗变量有关,这些变量是疾病严重程度、复杂性和慢性程度的替代指标。APP 的相对风险和益处尚不清楚,需要与氯氮平治疗抵抗患者的已知风险和益处进行权衡。为了提供循证临床实践,需要进行对照、高质量的抗精神病药联合和停药试验,以确定 APP 在管理对抗精神病药单药治疗反应不足的重度疾病患者中的有效性、安全性和作用。
