  2. Definition

    This codelist was taken from OpenCodelists, created by OpenSAFELY. We recommend viewing this Phenotype on the OpenCodelist website to view the most recent version.

    This code list contains the DM\&D list of medicines known as Second Generation Antipsychotics. All formulations of these medicines have been included except for long acting injections, which are included in a separate code list. These antipsychotics are licensed to treat psychoses and related illnesses. although asenapine is only licensed to treat mania.

  3. Methodology

    This list was developed using the list of second generation antipsychotics described in the BNF in the chapter 4.2; Drugs for psychoses and related illnesses. The list was cross referenced against the Snomed list of antipsychotics. All forms of the antipsychotics were included in the list except for long acting injections. Loxapine was not included in this list; whilst it is recognised that Loxapine has some atypical properties, it is generally referred to as a first generation antipsychotic.
