Bifidobacterium longum APC1472 hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) capsule; maltodextrin

Registered summary

Antipsychotic drugs are used to treat a range of psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and psychotic depression. Most antipsychotics are associated with significant weight gain and metabolic disturbances, which increase the risks for other diseases (obesity, diabetes, coronary diseases, etc.) and negatively impact medication adherence and quality of life. Evidence has shown that Olanzapine, for example, increases appetite, food intake, and food reward and modulates the gut microbiota. The full summary is on the listing.
