Lorazepam, IM:
 
not added (adults), 
deleted (children)
Haloperidol, IM:
 
retained
Promethazine, IM:

Rapid tranquilisation is not supported by robust data – to obtain study
consent in this setting where patients are disturbed is challenging.
Most recommendations are based on clinical experience, theoretical
considerations & research data.
4 TREC studies investigated parenteral medicines in “real life”
emergency settings.
Lorazepam’s efficaciousness is supported by TREC II study & is standard of care .
However, combining TREC1 and TRECII studies suggests that midazolam 7.5–15 mg 
sedates
more rapidly 
than lorazepam.
A limitation in TRECI: mean dose of haloperidol was lower than in other TREC studies.

Ref 1
 
Evidence
Efficacy:
Meta-analysis of benzodiazepines: Insufficient data to support or refute the use of
benzodiazepines (alone or in combination with antipsychotics). Analysis included
TREC studies on lorazepam & midazolam.
Safety:
Meta-analysis of benzodiazepines : Single case of side effect-respiratory depression
associated with midazolam; successfully treated with 
flumazenil.
Respiratory depression is a class effect of benzodiazepines.
Flumazenil is not essential as an antidote - patient can be manually ventilated.
Benzodiazepines safer option as adverse effects (extrapyramidal side effects;
dystonia & 
QT prolongation) 
associated with antipsychotics.

RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY
 
Pragmatic implications
Lorazepam is standard of care.
However, lorazepam requires to be refrigerated under lock & key.
As benzodiazepines has a class effect in this setting; a single benzodiazepine
was recommended that fulfils most indications throughout the PHC book.
Midazolam:
Recommended for status epilepticus at primary level (buccally for paediatrics &
IM for adults), supported by good quality evidence (Refer to implementation
slides for Trauma chapter).
Buccal midazolam observed to be efficacious in psychiatric emergency setting
for psychiatric agitation.
 
Ref 3
 
Step up approach:
NICE Guidelines recommends a step up approach in the short-
term management of the disturbed patient:
 
 
 
 
Prevalence
:
Patients commonly present with aggression & acute psychosis at
primary level.

Price
Lorazepam was not awarded on contract on the current or previous tender cycle.
Supply reported to be erratic.
Reference price is not available. (A market analysis showed that lorazepam does
not appear to be a reimbursable item on a number of National Healthcare Funds
[including Australia (Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme), New Zealand (PHARMAC),
Turkey (Ex-Factory), Brazil (Maximum Price to Government]).

RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY
 
Rationale:
Recent expert consensus recommends non-coercive approaches including non-
pharmacological calming techniques & oral preparations to promote patient
collaboration, when safe to do so.
Benzodiazepines safer option due to adverse effects (extrapyramidal side effects;
dystonia & QT prolongation) associated with antipsychotics.
Lorazepam requires refrigeration under lock & key.
Availability issues regarding lorazepam -  supply erratic, locally & globally.
Midazolam recommended for the management of status epilepticus in adults and
paediatrics with midazolam.
Level of Evidence: II, III Systematic review of low
quality evidence, RCTs, Guidelines
(Refer to the medicine review of midazolam in rapid tranquillisation)

PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES
2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
 
Rationale:
STGs were added to the PHC book for clarity.
 To provide guidance on additional conditions that commonly present at primary level of care –
with referral to secondary level of care as required.
 
Midazolam:

Aligned with the Paediatric Hospital level STG, 2013; SAMF 2012;
Section 16.6: Acute dystonic reactions & rationale for  considering
midazolam in the PHC book (see slide # 8).
STG recommends switching to haloperidol, rather than administering an
additional dose of benzodiazepine - in clinical practice the side effect of
paradoxical disinhibition associated with benzodiazepines is often not
considered.

2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
Ref 8
 
Schizophrenia where a less sedating agent is required
Haloperidol, oral: 
dose amended
Risperidone, oral: 
added
 
Evidence:
Meta-analysis:  Risperidone had better overall efficacy 
vs
. first-generation
antipsychotic (FGAs) medicines, −0.13 (−0.22 to −0.05, p=0.002).
NNT for 1 additional responder was 15 (9 to 36) for risperidone.
Relapse significantly better with risperidone vs. FGAs, RR 0.74 (0.63 to 0.87), NNT:
11 (7 to33).
Extrapyramidal side effects (EPSE) associated with risperidone vs. FGAs were less,
RR (95% CI): 0.61 (0.52 to 0.72).
Risperidone RCTs reviewed in the analysis were industry-sponsored. Exclusion of
these studies reduced risperidone effect size in the primary analysis (overall
symptoms) to -0.04, which was not significantly different from FGAs.

16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS
 
PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES
2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
 
Price:
 
(Refer to the costing analysis report for details, which included a
sensitivity analysis)
Cost effectiveness analysis compared haloperidol, 
4–6 mg 
to risperidone, 
3–20 mg,
for schizophrenia, based on the meta-analysis by Leucht 
et al
 (2009).
Adverse effect of EPSE was costed, assuming that the percentage of patients
requiring an anticholinergic was 45.8% for haloperidol 
vs
. 30.8% for risperidone
.
The calculated ICERs across the dose range and sensitivity analyses indicated that
risperidone was affordable (comparing haloperidol to risperidone):

16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS
Ref 9
 
Other considerations
Risperidone associated with more weight gain 
vs. 
haloperidol 1.7
(0.9 to 2.4); p < 0.0001.
Meta-analyses included older studies that used higher doses of FGAs
resulting in definitive EPSE. However, EPSE also associated with
second generation antipsychotics (SGAs), that is dose-dependent.
Tardive dyskinesia associated with antipsychotics is often diagnosed
late, & the condition is mostly irreversible.
The condition commonly presents at primary level, warranting
continuous availability of an agent.

16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS
Ref 10
 
 Recommendations
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rationale:
Anticholinergics are toxic & switching from low dose FGA to SGA preferred to adding an
anticholinergic (to manage EPSE associated with FGAs).
Haloperidol was as efficacious as risperidone for management of chronic schizophrenia.
Although haloperidol is associated with a higher incidence of EPSE, risperidone is associated with a
higher incidence of weight gain and metabolic complications/syndrome.
Both agents are affordable & available on the current contract.
The condition commonly presents at primary level & warrants continuous availability of an agent.
Level of Evidence: I Meta-analysis

PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES
2014: CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
 
1.
Haloperidol, oral 5 mg as first line option.
2.
If associated side-effects occur with haloperidol, switch to risperidone rather
than adding an anticholinergic.
3.
A note be included that anticholinergic therapy  not be routinely added to
antipsychotics to prevent EPSE.
 
 
16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS
Ref 11
 
Schizophrenia where a more sedating agent is required:
Chlorpromazine
: 
amended
Chlorpromazine 100 mg is the gold standard & reported to be more sedating
than haloperidol.
New patients would not be initiated on chlorpromazine at primary level of
care.
Those patients stabilised on chlorpromazine should continue therapy.
Maximum maintenance dose was amended to 800 mg daily.

  1. CH 16: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AFFORDABLE MEDICINES ESSENTIAL MEDICINES PROGRAMME PRIMARY HEALTHCARE 2014 Updates to the 2008 PHC STG & EML

  2. RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY Midazolam, buccal and IM: added Lorazepam, IM: not added (adults), deleted (children) Haloperidol, IM: retained Promethazine, IM: retained Rapid tranquilisation is not supported by robust data to obtain study consent in this setting where patients are disturbed is challenging. Most recommendations are based on clinical experience, theoretical considerations & research data. 4 TREC studies investigated parenteral medicines in real life emergency settings. Lorazepam s efficaciousness is supported by TREC II study & is standard of care . However, combining TREC1 and TRECII studies suggests that midazolam 7.5 15 mg sedates more rapidly than lorazepam. A limitation in TRECI: mean dose of haloperidol was lower than in other TREC studies. Ref 1 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 2

  3. RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY Evidence Efficacy: Meta-analysis of benzodiazepines: Insufficient data to support or refute the use of benzodiazepines (alone or in combination with antipsychotics). Analysis included TREC studies on lorazepam & midazolam. Safety: Meta-analysis of benzodiazepines : Single case of side effect-respiratory depression associated with midazolam; successfully treated with flumazenil. Respiratory depression is a class effect of benzodiazepines. Flumazenil is not essential as an antidote - patient can be manually ventilated. Benzodiazepines safer option as adverse effects (extrapyramidal side effects; dystonia & QT prolongation) associated with antipsychotics. Ref 2 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 3

  4. RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY Pragmatic implications Lorazepam is standard of care. However, lorazepam requires to be refrigerated under lock & key. As benzodiazepines has a class effect in this setting; a single benzodiazepine was recommended that fulfils most indications throughout the PHC book. Midazolam: Recommended for status epilepticus at primary level (buccally for paediatrics & IM for adults), supported by good quality evidence (Refer to implementation slides for Trauma chapter). Buccal midazolam observed to be efficacious in psychiatric emergency setting for psychiatric agitation. Ref 3 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 4

  5. RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY Step up approach: NICE Guidelines recommends a step up approach in the short- term management of the disturbed patient: Non-pharmacological techniques of de-escalation. Oral therapy Parenteral therapy Prevalence: Patients commonly present with aggression & acute psychosis at primary level.

  7. RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY Recommendation Sedation algorithm describing step up therapy: Non-pharmacological techniques of de-escalation. Benzodiazepines (e.g. midazolam) Oral therapy initially ; then IM therapy if oral route not possible or failed. Psychotics (haloperidol with promethazine) once diagnosis made. The sedation algorithm was inserted in the following sections: 16.1 Aggressive disruptive behaviour in adults 16.6.2 Bipolar disorder 16.7.1 Acute psychosis 16.8.2 Substance-induced psychosis PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 7

  8. RAPID TRANQUILISATION IN PSYCHIATRY Rationale: Recent expert consensus recommends non-coercive approaches including non- pharmacological calming techniques & oral preparations to promote patient collaboration, when safe to do so. Benzodiazepines safer option due to adverse effects (extrapyramidal side effects; dystonia & QT prolongation) associated with antipsychotics. Lorazepam requires refrigeration under lock & key. Availability issues regarding lorazepam - supply erratic, locally & globally. Midazolam recommended for the management of status epilepticus in adults and paediatrics with midazolam. Level of Evidence: II, III Systematic review of low quality evidence, RCTs, Guidelines (Refer to the medicine review of midazolam in rapid tranquillisation) Ref 5 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 8

  9. NEW STGS Rationale: STGs were added to the PHC book for clarity. To provide guidance on additional conditions that commonly present at primary level of care with referral to secondary level of care as required.

  10. 16.4.1 ACUTELY DISTURBED CHILD OR ADOLESCENT AWAITING FURTHER EVALUATION Midazolam: added Haloperidol: added Orphenadrine: added Aligned with the Paediatric Hospital level STG, 2013; SAMF 2012; Section 16.6: Acute dystonic reactions & rationale for considering midazolam in the PHC book (see slide # 8). STG recommends switching to haloperidol, rather than administering an additional dose of benzodiazepine - in clinical practice the side effect of paradoxical disinhibition associated with benzodiazepines is often not considered. Level of Evidence: III Expert opinion, Guidelines Ref 6 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 10

  11. 16.5 ACUTE DYSTONIC REACTION Biperiden, IM/IV: added Promethazine, IM: added STG developed to provide guidance on management of acute dystonia. Aligned with Adult Hospital level STG, 2012 & Paediatric Hospital level STG, 2013. Promethazine for use in children: Due to global shortage of biperiden, promethazine was considered for children (extrapolated from adult data & dose as per sedation indication). Ref 7 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 11

  12. 16.5.2 BIPOLAR DISORDER Diazepam, oral: added Midazolam, buccal & IM: added Haloperidol, IM: added Promethazine, IM: added Aligned with the Adult Hospital level STG.

Level of Evidence: II, III Systematic review of low quality evidence, Guidelines Ref 8 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 12

  13. 16.7.1 ACUTE PSYCHOSIS 2008 PHC STG: Psychosis divided into Acute psychosis & Chronic psychosis . Diazepam, oral: added Haloperidol, oral: moved to chronic psychosis STG Midazolam, buccal & IM: added Lorazepam, IM: deleted Haloperidol, IM: retained Promethazine, IM: added Chlorpromazine, oral: moved to chronic psychosis STG Zuclophenthixol acetate, IM: amended Fluphenazine decanoate, IM: moved to chronic psychosis STG Zuclopenthixol decanoate, IM: moved to chronic psychosis STG Aligned with the Adult Hospital level STG, 2012.

Level of Evidence: II, III Systematic review of low quality evidence, Guidelines Ref 8 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 13

  14. 16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS Schizophrenia where a less sedating agent is required Haloperidol, oral: dose amended Risperidone, oral: added Evidence: Meta-analysis: Risperidone had better overall efficacy vs. first-generation antipsychotic (FGAs) medicines, 0.13 ( 0.22 to 0.05, p=0.002). NNT for 1 additional responder was 15 (9 to 36) for risperidone. Relapse significantly better with risperidone vs. FGAs, RR 0.74 (0.63 to 0.87), NNT: 11 (7 to33). Extrapyramidal side effects (EPSE) associated with risperidone vs. FGAs were less, RR (95% CI): 0.61 (0.52 to 0.72). Risperidone RCTs reviewed in the analysis were industry-sponsored. Exclusion of these studies reduced risperidone effect size in the primary analysis (overall symptoms) to -0.04, which was not significantly different from FGAs. PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 14

  15. 16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS Price:(Refer to the costing analysis report for details, which included a sensitivity analysis) Cost effectiveness analysis compared haloperidol, 4 6 mg to risperidone, 3 20 mg, for schizophrenia, based on the meta-analysis by Leucht et al (2009). Adverse effect of EPSE was costed, assuming that the percentage of patients requiring an anticholinergic was 45.8% for haloperidol vs. 30.8% for risperidone. The calculated ICERs across the dose range and sensitivity analyses indicated that risperidone was affordable (comparing haloperidol to risperidone): Effect i. Overall efficacy ii. One additional responder iii. Relapse improved - R11.88 to R161.74 ICER R8.64 to R117.63 -R16.20 to -R220.56 Sensitivity analysis (lower limit) Sensitivity analysis (upper limit) R5.40 to R73.52 -R9.72 to R132.33 R21.60 to R294.07 -R38.89 to R529.33 -R7.56 to R102.93 -R35.65 to R485.22 Ref 9 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 15

  16. 16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS Other considerations Risperidone associated with more weight gain vs. haloperidol 1.7 (0.9 to 2.4); p < 0.0001. Meta-analyses included older studies that used higher doses of FGAs resulting in definitive EPSE. However, EPSE also associated with second generation antipsychotics (SGAs), that is dose-dependent. Tardive dyskinesia associated with antipsychotics is often diagnosed late, & the condition is mostly irreversible. The condition commonly presents at primary level, warranting continuous availability of an agent. Ref 10 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 16

  17. 16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS Recommendations 1. 2. Haloperidol, oral 5 mg as first line option. If associated side-effects occur with haloperidol, switch to risperidone rather than adding an anticholinergic. A note be included that anticholinergic therapy not be routinely added to antipsychotics to prevent EPSE. 3. Rationale: Anticholinergics are toxic & switching from low dose FGA to SGA preferred to adding an anticholinergic (to manage EPSE associated with FGAs). Haloperidol was as efficacious as risperidone for management of chronic schizophrenia. Although haloperidol is associated with a higher incidence of EPSE, risperidone is associated with a higher incidence of weight gain and metabolic complications/syndrome. Both agents are affordable & available on the current contract. The condition commonly presents at primary level & warrants continuous availability of an agent. Level of Evidence: I Meta-analysis Ref 11 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM 17

  18. 16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS Schizophrenia where a more sedating agent is required: Chlorpromazine: amended Chlorpromazine 100 mg is the gold standard & reported to be more sedating than haloperidol. New patients would not be initiated on chlorpromazine at primary level of care. Those patients stabilised on chlorpromazine should continue therapy. Maximum maintenance dose was amended to 800 mg daily. Level of Evidence: III Expert opinion, Guidelines Ref 12 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 18

  19. 16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS Long-term therapy: Fluphenazine decanoate: amended Flupenthixol decanoate: amended Zuclopenthixol decanoate: amended Doses were aligned with the SAMF 10th edition, 2012. Guidance provided on the weaning off of oral antispsychotics when changing to a depot preparation. Guidance on the addition of oral risperidone 2 mg for break through episodes whilst on the long acting depot. Ref 13 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 19 Level of Evidence: III Guidelines

  20. 16.7.2 CHRONIC PSYCHOSIS Long-term therapy (cont d): Risperidone: added Guidance provided on the addition of oral risperidone 2 mg for break through episodes whilst on long acting depot.

Level of Evidence: III Expert opinion, Guidelines Ref 14 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 20

  21. 16.8 SUBSTANCE RELATED DISORDERS Scope of the primary healthcare worker: Probably not in the scope of the primary healthcare practitioner to manage substance related disorders according to the DSM V criteria - possibly too complex. However, alcohol withdrawal should be considered, as this commonly presents at primary level of care. Level of evidence: III Expert opinion Ref 15 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 21

  22. 16.8.1 SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS Diazepam, oral: added Diazepam, IV: added DSM V has combined substance abuse & substance dependent (substance- induced) disorders under substance use disorders. Guidelines: The STG includes a statement to refer to National Policy guidelines on detoxification of psychoactive substances. Aligned with Adult Hospital level STG, 2012 & National Policy guidelines on detoxification of psychoactive substances. STG describes general management with benzodiazepines and referral to secondary level. Level of Evidence: III Guidelines Ref 16 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 22

  23. 16.8.2 SUBSTANCE-INDUCED PSYCHOSIS Diazepam, oral: added Midazolam, buccal & IM: added Haloperidol, IM: added Promethazine, IM: added Aligned with Adult Hospital level STG, 2012 & National Policy guidelines on detoxification of psychoactive substances.

  24. 16.8.4 ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL (UNCOMPLICATED) Thiamine, oral: added Diazepam, oral: added Aligned with the Adult Hospital level STG, 2012. However, dose of thiamine, oral was amended to 300 mg daily x 14 days. As recommended by the British Association of Psychopharmacology guidelines (2013). Cochrane review: Evidence from RCTs insufficient to guide clinicians in determining the dose, frequency, route or duration of thiamine treatment for prophylaxis against or treatment of Wernicke syndrome due to alcohol abuse. Available data of low quality: 100 mg daily is insufficient. Level of Evidence: III Guidelines, low quality RCTs Ref 18 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 24

  26. 16.1 AGGRESSIVE DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR IN ADULTS Diazepam, oral: added Midazolam, buccal & IM: added Haloperidol, IM: added Promethazine, IM: added Sedation algorithm included in the STG. Biperiden for acute dystonia: Although a S21 application had been utilised to circumvent local supply issues, there is a global shortage of biperiden. As parenteral atropine has no supporting data in this clinical setting; promethazine, IM, retained for acute dystonia induced by antipsychotics.

  27. 16.2 ANXIETY AND STRESS AND RELATED DISORDERS IN ADULTS Diazepam, oral: added Citalopram, oral: added Fluoxetine, oral: not added Aligned with the Adult Hospital level STG, 2012. Short course of benzodiazepines (5-10 days) considered for the acute management of anxiety. Some doctors at primary level would be able to diagnose chronic anxiety, managed with SSRIs - SSRIs are considered safer & less sedating than tricyclic antidepressants. Level of Evidence: III Guidelines Ref 20 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 27

  28. 16.2 ANXIETY AND STRESS AND RELATED DISORDERS IN ADULTS Diazepam, oral: added Aligned with the Adult Hospital level STG, 2012.

Level of Evidence: III Guidelines Ref 21 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 28

  29. 16.2 ANXIETY AND STRESS AND RELATED DISORDERS IN ADULTS Fluoxetine: not added Citalopram: added Guidelines supports SSRIs as 1st line pharmacotherapy - chronic management of GAD in adults. Paucity of robust data comparing various SSRIs for GAD. RCTs generally show comparable efficacy & selection further guided by side effect profile of specific SSRIs. 1 small RCT (n=34) showed that by 8 weeks, for the treatment of anxiety disorders in the elderly ( 60 years of age): 65% [(11/17); 95% CI 42 to 87%] in the citalopram group vs. 24% [(4/17); 95% CI 3 to 44%] the placebo group. Lack of available data to support fluoxetine in preventing relapse of generalised anxiety disorders (chronic management of anxiety). RCT by Allgulander et al (2004): Remission rate (Hamilton anxiety scale 7) higher with sertraline vs. placebo, (37% vs. 23%, p=0.006) at 12 weeks analysis & endpoint analysis with the last observation carried forward (31% vs. 18%, p=0.002). Response rates (Clinical Global Impression 2) higher for sertraline (63%) vs. placebo (37%). Sertraline was better tolerated vs. placebo. Level of Evidence: III, Guidelines, Low quality RCT Ref 22 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 29

  30. 16.2 ANXIETY AND STRESS AND RELATED DISORDERS IN ADULTS Price: Current contract price for citalopram cheaper than sertraline. Comparative costs for 30 days supply R10.00 R8.00 BASED ON WHO/ATC DDD (MG): Sertraline: 50 mg Citalopram: 20 mg Sertraline 50 mg R6.00 R4.00 Citalopram 20 mg R2.00 R- Ref 23 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 30

  31. 16.6.1 MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER Availability: Fluoxetine, oral is currently only available as a 20 mg capsule on tender; and doses of 10 mg per day would not be possible. Fluoxetine & not amitryptilline considered for the elderly in this clinical setting. Level of Evidence: III Expert opinion Ref 24 PRIMARY HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION SLIDES 2014: MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS 31

  32. 16.6.1 MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER Duration of SSRI therapy: The duration of 9 months appears to be consistent with the literature. Guidelines recommend a continuation phase of therapy ranging from 6 months to 9 months: American Psychiatric Association (2010): 4 - 9 months. NICE 2009: 6 months. NEJM 2005: 6 - 9 months. Evidence-based guidelines for treating depressive disorders with antidepressants: a revision of the 2000 British Association for Psychopharmacology guidelines: 6 to 9 months. Texas Medication Algorithm Project 1999: 6 to 9 months. Recommendation: Continuation phase of SSRI therapy for a period of 6 months, once a patient has been stabilised.
