Sex differences in the efficacy, acceptability, and tolerability of antipsychotics in people with acute schizophrenia: individual participant data pairwise, dose-response, and network meta-analyses

We found no evidence of sex differences in the efficacy (real-world effectiveness in the trial) or overall adverse event profiles, and no different dose-response relationships, for the drugs studied. However, we found some evidence that, among females, antipsychotics reduce all-cause dropout more, and increase antipsychotic-induced prolactin elevation versus placebo (inactive comparison treatment), as compared with males.
