[Clinical study on five depot neuroleptics. Comparison of effective profiles of fluphenazinedecanoate, fluspirilene, penfluridol, perphenazine-enanthate and pipothiazinepalmitate]

Abstract

Five depot neuroleptics (fluphenazinedeconoate, fluspirilene, pipothiazinepalmitate, penfluridol and perphenazine-enanthate) were compared based on clinical trials in subacute and chronic schizophrenic patients. The psychopathological symptoms were documented by means of the AMP-system. Statistical analyses showed several differences between the effects of the five substances. The AMP-system proved a useful instrument to differentiate similar drugs.
