Long-Acting Injectable Medications in Mental Health describes the currently available long-acting injectable (LAI) medications to treat mental health and substance use disorders. Each chapter details how the medication's LAI technology utilized by the formulation, the dosing parameters, including missed dosing, pharmacokinetic properties, drug interactions, adverse effects, and preparation and administration instructions. Additionally, each medication chapter describes the efficacy of the formulation in comparison to other LAIs and oral medications. The book provides insight into how to approach a patient to engage in a conversation regarding LAI options. Switching strategies between agents and discontinuation options for patients are also included. Clinical pearls and tips on the role of these medications in clinical practice are provided to assist providers and pharmacists with the selection of agents and best practices regarding their use. A chapter is devoted to the use of LAIs in special populations (pregnant and lactating patients, older adults, pediatrics).

The book is unique in that it encompasses all aspects of LAIs, from conversation to selection to administration and beyond. As this marketplace continues to increase, LAIs are becoming a mainstay of therapy for those with serious mental illness and substance use disorders. This book highlights the differences in products and the importance of understanding these differences to have the best outcome for the patient. Many providers are not familiar or comfortable with these formulations, but this book provides pharmacists and other healthcare providers, who are positioned to discuss these options with patients, with a highly accessible and comprehensive resource.
