So I’ve been waiting a while for new news about this. Antipsychotics in nasal spray form go directly to the brain through the nerves in the nasal cavity, avoiding the body. A fraction of the normal antipsychotic dosage is required, leading to less side effects.
Last time I emailed McMasters university scientist he said they still need to go through trials and marketing(development) etc before any results are seen.
Concurrently I read about Lybalvi, a new formulation of Olanzapine with Samidorphan, that reports less weight gain. Of course this medication is more expensive than generic Olanzapine, being newer and carrying an extra active ingredient.
Does anyone have any insight into recent antipsychotic developments? What do you think about the future of schizophrenic, and mental illness treatments?
