The online tool by Nicholas Keks et al has been updated. View updated tool.

The risperidone depot switches to aripiprazole and flupentixol have been updated to include recommendations to start at 25% of the target dose if starting within 3 weeks of the last injection of risperidone. All risperidone depot switches, except the switch to paliperidone, include extra clarification for this recommendation.

The source material used for the tool has also been included.
