Impact of antipsychotics on prolactin levels in youth with psychiatric disorders: A cross-sectional study
Approximately 40 % of pediatric patients treated with antipsychotics exhibited abnormal prolactin levels. Clinicians should routinely monitor prolactin levels and consider prolactin-related side effects when prescribing antipsychotics to children and adolescents. These findings emphasize the importance of tailored antipsychotic therapy to minimize the adverse effects in this vulnerable population.
