Question

Why atypical antipsychotics drug prefers than typical antipsychotics?

Answer 1

since, Antipsychotic medications, sometimes referred to as neuroleptics or major tranquilizers, are prescribed to treat schizophrenia and to reduce the symptoms associated with psychotic conditions such as bipolar, psychotic depression, senile psychoses, various organic psychoses, and drug-induced psychoses. People experiencing psychosis are sometimes, but not always, a danger to themselves and others. Antipsychotic medications have both a short-term sedative effect and the long-term effect of reducing the chances of psychotic episodes. Most drugs are available in oral dosage forms (tablets, dry powder, and capsules), while some can be given in parenteral form (intramuscular and intravenous injections).

Answer 2

Answer:

Many patients still do not respond adequately to drug treatment of their psychosis. Despite their cost, the atypical antipsychotic drugs are preferred because of their better adverse effect profile and efficacy advantages in some patients.
