| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding the accessibility and safety of antipsychotics in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder in children and adolescents. Introduction: Risperidone and aripiprazole (RiAr) are antipsychotic drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the management of irritability associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children and adolescents. Cultural, regulatory and economic differences in countries like India and Malta may affect the prescribing behaviour of these drugs in ASD. Aims: To study prescribing behaviour, safety and accessibility of RiAr in children and adolescents in India and Malta. |
