Psychotropic Medication Monitoring: A Review
Abstract
Objective: To address a gap in the literature for concise recommendations on psychotropic medication monitoring geared to prescribers in primary care psychiatry.
Data sources: Large institutional guidelines from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand combined with manual searches for psychiatric medication monitoring consensus and other recommendations up to January 31, 2018.
Study selection: Any available guidelines and consensus statements making psychotropic medication monitoring recommendations for treatment of adults and published in English.
Data extraction: Manual identification of all specific recommendations on psychotropic medication monitoring from the sources.
Results: Psychotropic medication monitoring recommendations vary by source, but there is considerable agreement among English-language sources, which can be readily summarized for teaching and everyday use.
Conclusions: For prescribers working in many disciplines, medication monitoring may be improved by having more ready access to recommendations.
