Computing the equivalent dose of antipsychotics
Use in this exercise the power relationship of the form
where the dose of a given antipsychotic, is the equivalent dose of chlorpromazine (CPZ) or the equivalent dose of haloperidol (HPD), and and drug-specific, experimentally determined numbers for the two reference antipsychotics.
Antipsychotic | relationship (CPZ dose) | relationship (HPD dose) |
clozapine | ||
risperidone | ||
olanzapine | ||
quetiapine | ||
aripiprazole | ||
chlorpromazine | ||
haloperidol |
A patient uses clozapine and aripiprazol daily.
What is the equivalent dose of chlorpromazine, in mg and rounded to 2 decimal places?
Equivalent CPZ dose = | in mg and rounded to 2 decimal places. |
