  • Title: Psychotropic drug patterns in a large ICF/MR facility: a ten-year experience.
    Author: Poindexter AR.
    Journal: Am J Ment Retard; 1989 May; 93(6):624-6. PubMed ID: 2719844.
    Abstract:
    Psychotropic drug-prescribing patterns for a stable cohort of 474 persons in continuous residence at an ICF/MR facility for a 10-year period were recorded and classified by drug type. Results indicated a progressive, marked decrease in total psychotropic drug usage and changes in the type of drugs prescribed. The findings indicate the importance of physician awareness of drug side-effects and alternate treatment possibilities.
