Less
than half of UK prescriptions for antipsychotic drugs are being issued
to treat the serious mental illnesses for which they are mainly
licensed, reveals research published in the online journal
BMJ Open.
Instead, they may often be prescribed 'off label' to older people with
other conditions, such as anxiety and dementia, despite the greater risk
of potentially serious side effects in this age group, the findings
indicate.
The researchers analysed family doctors' prescribing patterns for first
and second generation antipsychotic drugs across the UK between 2007 and
2011, using data submitted to The Health Improvement Network (THIN)
database.
