Patch to reduce hostility among patients with schizophrenia

The antipsychotic “patch” effectively reduced hostility among patients with schizophrenia, a researcher reported.

In a post-hoc analysis of a phase III trial, once-daily asenapine transdermal system (Secuado) – the first transdermal patch FDA-approved for schizophrenia – was superior to placebo in reducing symptoms of hostility related to schizophrenia, reported Leslie Citrome, MD, MPH, of New York Medical College in Valhalla.

Sounds great. Hopefully not too many side effects.

Hmmm, never heard of this medicine.

The Haldol Dec Shot has ended almost any hostility from my daughter for almost 4 years now. We were very lucky.
