Antipsychotic medication is available as follows:
- Oral tablets to be taken every day;
- Long-acting injections to be taken every two weeks, monthly or only 4 times a year.
In addition, it may also be necessary to administer medication that can reduce the possible side effects of the antipsychotic therapy, or other drugs that can restore your health.
