ABSTRACT
Treatment of patients suffering from schizophrenia is very expensive. However, by consistently and methodically performed medical prophylaxis the disease can be controlled sufficiently well. Regular prophylactic treatment compared to repeated treatment of acute episodes has both medical advantages and reduces cost by reducing the rate of hospitalisation. Prophylactic treatment with Flupentixoldecanoat can save up to 68% of costs.
