Is loxapine more effective than chlorpromazine in paranoid schizophrenia?

A Rifkin et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1984 Nov.

Abstract

The authors compared loxapine with chlorpromazine in inpatients with paranoid schizophrenia and found no difference in clinical efficacy. Thus a previous finding, based on retrospective analyses, that loxapine was superior to other neuroleptics in the treatment of paranoid schizophrenia was not verified in this prospective study.
