In this podcast episode, Leslie Citrome, MD, MPH, and Adam Lowy, MD, share a wealth of knowledge about long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics. Their conversation begins with an overview of the pharmacokinetic profiles of LAI antipsychotics and how they differ from their oral counterparts, as well as injection intervals available with current formulations. The experts also discuss the clinical utility of LAI antipsychotics in psychiatry practice, highlighting their role in assuring medication adherence and their application in both first- and later-episode psychosis. Finally, Drs Citrome and Lowy hit on practical aspects of incorporating LAI antipsychotics into patient care: communicating with patients to dispel myths and stigma surrounding injectable medications, identifying injection resources in your medical community, and strategies to navigate insurance barriers.
Throughout the podcast, Drs Citrome and Lowy reference several links to outside sources that can provide valuable education on LAI antipsychotics. Those links are listed below for your convenience.
