Reducing antipsychotic drugs in care homes.

Aileen Prentice, David Wright.   

Abstract

Antipsychotic medication should be used in people with dementia only when there is an identified need and the benefits outweigh the risks. An audit-based service provided by pharmacists, working with nursing and care staff in residential homes, resulted in antipsychotic doses reductions of 20% and drug discontinuation in 17% of residents with dementia.
