Switching treatments

This online tool has been created to help health professionals change a patient's antipsychotic treatment.

Whatever reasons you have for deciding to change treatments (side effects or lack of efficacy), THE SWITCH is used as follows:

• Choose the type of switch that you want to make (with regard to antipsychotics per os or prolonged action)
• Then :
1. Select the name of the current antipsychotic
2. Select the current dose of the antipsychotic
3. Select the name of the new antipsychotic
• The app will provide:
1. The recommended dosage of the new antipsychotic
2. The procedures in chronological order for the switch
3. Potential withdrawal or rebound effects during the switch
4. A diagram with a summary of the affinities of these two molecules on the receptors involved
