Atypical Antipsychotics and Metabolic Syndrome: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Differences

Marco Carli et al.

Summary: Atypical antipsychotics can cause metabolic syndrome, including weight gain, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. Olanzapine and clozapine have the highest risk of metabolic alterations, while newer medications like ziprasidone and lurasidone may be more tolerable in terms of metabolic profile. Differences in efficacy among antipsychotics should be considered, with clozapine being the most effective but potentially associated with increased metabolic risks. A multidisciplinary approach combining psychoeducation and therapeutic drug monitoring is proposed as a first-line strategy to avoid metabolic syndrome.

Treatment adherence and tolerability of immediate- and prolonged-release lithium formulations in a sample of bipolar patients: a prospective naturalistic study

Margherita Barbuti et al.

Summary: This study compared treatment adherence and tolerability of different lithium formulations in bipolar patients receiving lithium therapy for the first time. Prolonged-release lithium therapy showed potential advantages over immediate-release formulations, with improved therapeutic adherence and lower frequency of side effects. Further studies with longer follow-up duration are needed to confirm these findings.
