Summary
As discussed in Chapter 6, first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) are therapeutically as effective as newer antipsychotics, and their utility derives from low cost and the availability of long-acting injectable (LAI) preparations for certain agents. While there are close to 3 dozen FGAs available worldwide, many have very limited or regional use (e.g. melperone, chlorprothixene, perazine), some are rarely used (thioridazine, pimozide) due to disproportionate effects on the rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) of the EKG, and some are so poorly characterized that plasma level data is virtually nonexistent (molindone).
