  • Title: Zuclopenthixol acetate in viscoleo in acutely disturbed psychotic patients.
    Author: Schlosberg A, Barr F.
    Journal: Isr J Psychiatry Relat Sci; 1991; 28(2):60-3. PubMed ID: 1682290.
    Abstract:
    This report describes an open pilot study of ten acutely disturbed and agitated psychotic patients who received CPT-A zuclopenthixol injections. The dosage ranged from 50 mg to 100 mg. Sedative effects were noticed already after 2 hours, and the patients were all sleepy and sedated after 8 hours. There was a definite improvement in the CGI within 24 hours. The BPRS improved within 24 hours, having the greatest effect on activation, anxiety, depression, and hostile suspiciousness. These effects were sufficient to control these patients. The findings show a rapid onset of therapeutic effect, with no side effects, a duration of 2-3 days and a good local tolerability.
