[Influence of clozapine on neuroleptigenic extrapyramidal motor disturbances (author's transl)]

Abstract

1. Human neuroleptogenic EPMS-disturbances are reversed by clozapine in animal experiments and in clinical use. This is consistent with the central anticholinergic efficacy of clozapine. 2. Clozapine seems to be a favourable concomitant medication when high dosage therapy of neuroleptics is applied--or at the incidence of dyskinesia.
