Abstract
Pattern of atypical and typical antipsychotic medications among one hundred and twenty four patients receiving these medications was investigated and analyzed. Males constitute approximately 61% of the sample. More than half of the patients in the sample were less than 50 years old. Most the patients prescribed antipsychotic medications were having schizophrenia (61%). Analysis of the prescribed antipsychotics for the patients showed that approximately 99% of the patients were receiving conventional typical antipsychotic medications either as single (70.2%) or combination (17.7%) or in depot form (10.4%). Less than 2% of the patients were receiving atypical antipsychotic medications. Among those prescribed conventional typical antipsychotic drugs, only (56%) were co-prescribed anticholinergic drugs. The underutilization of atypical antipsychotics and the underutilization of anticholinergic to be co-prescribed with conventional antipsychotics require further evaluation and investigation at the national Palestinian level.

الملخص
نمط استخدام أدوية الشيزوفرينيا القديمة والجديدة بين 124 مريضا"" كانوا يتناولون هذه الأدوية قد تمت دراستها وتحليلها. العينة كانت مكونة من 61% من الذكور وكان أكثر من 50% من المرضى ممن أعمارهم تقل عن 50 سنة. تحليل عينة المرضى اشارت الى أن 61% من المرضى الذين يتناولون هذه الأدوية كانوا يعانون من مرض انفصام الشخصية. تحليل الأدوية أظهر أن 99% من المرضى يتناولون الأدوية من النوع القديم على شكل دواء واحد(70.2%) أو عدة أدوية (17.7%) أو أدوية ذات المفعول الطويل(10.4%). أقل من 2% من المرضى كانوا يتناولون الأدوية الحديثة. بين المرضى الذين كانوا يتناولون الأدوية القديمة، فقط 56% كانوا يتناولون أدوية ذات التأثير المضاد للأسيتيل كولين. الاستعمال القليل للأدوية الحديثة أو لمضادات الأسيتيل كولين يحتاج الى اعادة تقييم ودراسة شاملة على مستوى فلسطين.
