Alternative formulations, delivery methods, and administration options for psychotropic medications in elderly patients with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia
چکیده انگلیسی
Conclusions: Overall, few studies have examined the use and efficacy of alternative psychotropic formulations and delivery methods in elderly patients with BPSD, and none have specifically addressed drug-alteration and alternative-administration issues. There is no evidence to compare alternative delivery forms (eg, tablet or capsule) of a given medication in terms of efficacy or tolerability. Still, alternative methods may be the only option for treatment of some patients. Practitioners must be familiar with the range of formulations and delivery options available so that they can optimize their patients' medication regimens. More data are needed on the use of alternative formulations, delivery methods, and administration options and their limitations in this population.
