The pharmacological management of acute beha vioural disturbance in psychosis is not straightforward. The real, or perceived, dose:effect relationship of the various neuroleptics in common use has an important influence on prescribing patterns leading, in certain situations,to very high doses of neuroleptic medication being prescribed. Data from a study of the use of neuroleptic medication in two psychiatric intensive therapy units illustrate the potential extent of the problem. Over half of the cases were not amenable to accurate dosage monitoring due to the use of depot neuroleptics, Clopixol Acuphase or polypharmacy. The majority received doses exceeding the limit suggested by the BritishNational Formulary. Effortsto standardise the use of such drugs would help to optimise the clinical management of this challenging group of patients.
