Abstract:

Objective. To comprehensively analyze the possibilities of using the methods of correction of non-effective psychopharmacotherapy of late-onset depressions. Material and methods. Methods of potentiating, combination and substitution of non-effective psychopharmacotherapy of late-onset depressions were studied. Results and conclusion. Indications to the use and specific algorithms of substitution and addition of antidepressants in non-effective psychopharmacotherapy of late-onset depressions have been developed. These algorithms of combination therapy suggest the possibilities for choosing the individual combinations of antidepressants.
