NP 1 stated the reason the resident was receiving two antipsychotic medications in the same class was that one was a long acting injection and the other short acting tablet. NP 1 was not able to provide rationale justifying with supporting evidence use of two or more of antipsychotic medications applicable specifically to the resident. In an interview on April 4, 2018, at 3:25 p.m., the Consultant Pharmacist (CP) stated there had been number of verbal discussions on the use of two or more antipsychotic medications but no documented recommendations were included in the resident's medical record. 2. Resident 52's medical record was reviewed on April 4, 2018. The resident was admitted to the facility on February 5, 2018, with diagnoses including schizophrenia with the following prescribed medications continued from the hospital: -Seroquel (medication to treat a various mental disorder) 100 mg (milligram) one half tablet (50 mg) every morning and 400 mg one tablet by mouth every day at bedtime for schizophrenia manifested by responding to internal stimuli causing to strike out towards others; and - Risperdal (medication to treat a various mental disorder) 0.5 mg tablet one tablet at bed time for psychosis manifested by auditory hallucinations.

NP 1 also stated if the antipsychotic medications were continued from the hospital he would not change them. There was no documented evidence in the resident's medical record of the clinical rationale for the resident's receiving two antipsychotic medications in the same class. In an interview on April 4, 2018, 3:25 p.m., the CP stated he made recommendations about the use of two antipsychotic medications and spoke about it verbally on several occasions but was frustrated the recommendations were not addressed or acted on. The CP stated he did not make any recommendations about the simultaneous use of two antipsychotic medications for Resident 52. According to "Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients with Schizophrenia, Second Edition," Copyright 2010, by American Psychiatric Association (APA), "... Antipsychotics Most reports on the combination of antipsychotics describe the effects of combinations with clozapine... Case series show improvements in residual positive symptoms with the addition of a number of other antipsychotics to clozapine. These agents include loxapine, pimozide, and risperidone...

Evidence for (or against) this practice is minimal, as there are no controlled studies in the literature. The largest case series includes six persons with inadequate responses to 2040 mg/ day of olanzapine, who had average decreases in BPRS and PANSS scores of 35% after addition of 60-600 mg/day of sulpiride for at least 10 weeks. Without a control group, such results are difficult to evaluate. Moreover, sulpiride is not available in the United States, and there is no way to know if similar results might be found with other antipsychotics. The absence of evidence for combinations of antipsychotics does not mean that there are no patients who are best treated with such a combination. However, their use should be justified by strong documentation that the patient is not equally benefited by monotherapy with either component of the combination. Practitioners should be aware of the problems inherent in combination therapies, including increased side effects and drug interactions as well as increased costs and decreased adherence..."
