  • Title: [Neuroleptic infusion therapy with high-dosed fluphenazine (author's transl)].
    Author: Fünfgeld EW, Kulhanek F.
    Journal: Arzneimittelforschung; 1978; 28(9):1489-91. PubMed ID: 383096.
    Abstract:
    19 chronic schizophrenics who had previously been resistant to various neuroleptic treatment regimens, were given extemely high doses (ca. 300-500 mg daily) of fluphenazine. 2 infusions were given in the morning and in the afternoon. Therapy results, possible side effects and the transition to oral and i.m. (depot) modes of application are discussed. The above-mentioned extemely high doses of fluphenazine appear to be contra-indicated in depressive states and in cases of latent organic brain changes. Psychiatric state hospitals would be able to carry out this form of treatment in a special unit for "intensive care" in connection with appropriate social rehabilitative methods.
