Abstract

The clinical effect of clopenthixol decanoate was assessed in a 5 mo. controlled study including 21 hospitalized chronic schizophrenic patients. Clopenthixol decanoate was found an effective and long-acting antipsychotic compound with few autonomic and neurological side effects. Compared with previous maintenance treatment it also showed a positive influence on depression and facilitation of the social adaptation of the patients.
