For this meta-analysis, we extracted data on sexual and select endocrine side effects from randomized controlled trials on treating acute schizophrenia with oral antipsychotics. We then analysed the relative risk under treatment with different drugs. In 98 trials (n=28076), we found incidences ranging from below 1% to 10% for the different side effects. The risk seemed higher with risperidone, amisulpride, olanzapine, and sertindole and lower with aripiprazole, paliperidone, quetiapine, and ziprasidone. However, given the limited amount of data, the results should be interpreted with caution.
