Medication nonadherence occurs often, and long-acting antipsychotic formulations may be an option for reducing adherence difficulties. While long-acting therapies have traditionally been reserved for treatment-resistant patients, newer research indicates that these formulations may be both accepted and beneficial for patients in the early course of illness. This engaging, interactive educational session will provide a comprehensive update on long-acting injectable antipsychotic (LAI) agents used in the treatment of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Our expert speakers will provide an outline of all agents currently FDA-approved for schizophrenia and examine how they may optimally be used. Pros/cons for each agent will be discussed. Research investigating the use of long-acting antipsychotic medications to improve adherence will be presented. In addition, the practical aspects of providing treatment in different clinical environments will be discussed. Panel discussants from a variety of clinical settings will consider the role of the pharmacist in LAI antipsychotic clinics.
