Description
Marta Matrone, Alessandro Cuomo, Sergio De Filippis, Andrea Fagiolini, and Mario Amore review liquid antipsychotics for sudden agitation in this 2024 paper. Psychomotor agitation strikes across schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia, and substance use, and it can tip into aggression fast, so emergency teams need calmatives that act quickly and go down easily.
Their focus is liquid promazine, an older drug in syrup form. The search of the literature found real advantages: no injection battle, fast onset, and better patient cooperation than pills or shots in chaotic settings. Yet protocols for liquid forms remain unstandardized, and long term or head to head evidence is thin. The authors call for trials that compare liquid options directly.
