trim_key {chlorpromazineR}

Modify the names in a conversion key to only include the first word

Description

For parenteral (sai) and long-acting/depot (lai) antipsychotics, the name consists of the usual generic name (such as haloperidol) and a second word describing the formulation (e.g. haloperidol decanoate). Since to_cpz() and add_key() require exact matches to work properly, removing the second word may be required, but should be done with care as it can add ambiguity (e.g. fluphenazine enanthate and decanoate).
