Amisulpride augmentation, in a group of patients partially or non-responsive to olanzapine, may lead to an improvement in schizophrenic symptoms. However, these results are subject to several limitations making it difficult to derive firm clinical recommendations, and underscoring the need for future research into the value of these therapeutic alternatives in poor responders.
The addition of amisulpride could lead to an improvement in schizophrenia symptoms in patients that do not, or only partially, respond to risperidone. Further research is required into alternative therapies for poor responders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
