a patient started on the above injection has shown remarkable improvement after the fiest dose. Will he require lifelong medication? when can a switch to oral flupenthixol be made? Is olanzapine required to be added?
yes, the patient will require the lifelong medication or until the doctors have found that it is stabilized or if the patient or parents of the patient want him/her to stay on it so any future reactions on occur. While it is stabilized, the patient need to go thru counseling. For the other parts, I could not find, but you can read up on the website I posted too.
