[Long-acting neuroleptics. IV. Preliminary study of clopimozide (R 29764)]. / Neuroleptiques à longue durée d'action. IV. Etude préliminaire du clopimozide (R 29764)

Clopimozide is, in our opinion, a noteworthy neuroleptic drug. Its action is mainly ataraxic but also antidelusional, long-acting and accompanied with minimal side-effects. It is therefore particularly indicated in the maintenance therapy of psychotics, at a weekly dosage of 7.5 to 25 mg. The present conclusions are preliminary because of the limited number of patients (10) but also because of the rigidity of the trial protocol suggested to us.
