How Do Antipsychotics Affect Other Medications In My Body? - Schizophrenia Support Network
How Do Antipsychotics Affect Other Medications In My Body? In this informative video, we will discuss how antipsychotic medications can interact with other drugs in your body. Understanding these interactions is essential for managing your treatment effectively. We will cover the two main types of drug interactions: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic. You'll learn about how certain medications are absorbed, metabolized, and eliminated, and the role of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system in these processes. Additionally, we will explore how antipsychotics can affect the efficacy and side effects of other medications, especially when taken together. This is especially important for individuals with schizophrenia who may be on multiple medications, a situation known as polypharmacy. We will also highlight the importance of working closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your medications and avoid potential complications. By staying informed and proactive, you can help ensure that your treatment plan is effective while minimizing risks. Remember to keep your healthcare team updated about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
