Package: chlorpromazineR Title: Convert Antipsychotic Doses to Chlorpromazine Equivalents Version: 0.2.0 Authors@R: c(person("Eric", "Brown", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "eb@ericebrown.com", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-1575-2606")), person("Parita", "Shah", role = "aut", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-7302-0411")), person("Julia", "Kim", role = "aut", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-0379-1333")), person("Frederick", "Boehm", role = "rev", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-1644-5931"))) Description: As different antipsychotic medications have different potencies, the doses of different medications cannot be directly compared. Various strategies are used to convert doses into a common reference so that comparison is meaningful. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) has historically been used as a reference medication into which other antipsychotic doses can be converted, as "chlorpromazine-equivalent doses". Using conversion keys generated from widely-cited scientific papers, e.g. Gardner et. al 2010 and Leucht et al. 2016 , antipsychotic doses are converted to CPZ (or any specified antipsychotic) equivalents. The use of the package is described in the included vignette. Not for clinical use.
