Treatment of delirium tremens in German psychiatric hospitals: results of a recent survey
Abstract
A questionnaire was sent to all the psychiatric clinics in West Germany to determine their treatment of delirium tremens. Chlormethiazole was found to be the most important drug for treating delirium tremens and was used in more than 90% of clinics. Contraindications for chlormethiazole treatment and side-effects with treatment were also recorded.
