Important teaching for women in their childbearing years who are receiving antipsychotic medications includes Correct Answer Continuing previous use of contraception during periods of amenorrhea

Concept:

  • Many antipsychotic drugs used to treat schizophrenia can cause amenorrhea in a significant proportion of women.
  • Hormonal side effects of antipsychotic medication, such as amenorrhea, can complicate the lives of women, and yet they have been relatively neglected in both research and clinical practice.
  • The mechanism by which antipsychotics stop menstruation is not totally understood, but hyperprolactinemia secondary to dopamine blockade is central.
  • It is know as Antipsychotic‐induced Amenorrhoea.

Explanation:

  • Although many drugs raise prolactin levels, this occurs more commonly with antipsychotics than with any other class of drugs.
  • Elevated prolactin leads to disturbances in the secretion of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone, which
    in turn results in menstrual irregularities and amenorrhea.
  • Hyperprolactinemia is induced mainly by first-generation antipsychotic drugs, amisulpride, and risperidone.
  • Interventions for management of Antipsychotic‐induced Amenorrhoea:
    • Reduction in dosage
    • Switching antipsychotic drug
    • Discontinuing drug
    • Follow ups for treatment evaluation.
  • Continuing previous use of contraception during periods of amenorrhea as antipsychotic‐induced amenorrhoea is not reliable for contraeption effect.
