Abstract
- There is little evidence for psychopharmacotherapy in pica. A few studies reported some benefit from the use of SSRIs, atypical antipsychotics and methylphenidate. That said, evidence to deploy these agents remains, at large, flimsy. Here, despite scarcity, we review available literature and draw some generalities that can inform decision-making on clinical grounds.<br /> (Copyright © 1964–2024 by MedWorks Media Inc, Los Angeles, CA All rights reserved.
