Tóm tắt

There has been an expanding role for the new generation atypical antipsychotic agents (clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, and quetiapine) in elderly patients. Their efficacy in the treatment of psychoses associated with schizophrenia is now well established. But psychoses occur in other conditions. This paper will review the current research examining the use of the atypical agents in the treatment of psychoses in the elderly in three somewhat overlapping conditions: schizophrenia, dementia, and Parkinson's disease, as well as in the amelioration of a variety of movement disorders. In the elderly, any of the atypicals can be used to treat schizophrenia, although clozapine may be a second line agent because of its side effect profile. Risperidone may be the drug of choice for the treatment of psychoses and behavioral disturbances in dementia. Clozapine is a primary choice and quetiapine an alternative for the treatment of psychoses in Parkinson's disease; while clozapine and possibly risperidone may be preferred for the initial treatment of some movement disorders. The differential effectiveness of these agents across treatment indications may, in part, be related to their differing affinities at several neurotransmitter receptors. Examination of these relationships in large scale longitudinal studies may help in the development of effective tailored treatments for the elderly.
