[Haloperidol decanoate: results of a 6-month open trial in paranoid schizophrenia]

An open clinical trial with Haloperidol Decanoate was carried out in order to determine its therapeutic efficacy, side effects, and tolerance. The sample population was a 30 male-and-female-psychotic-patient group (15 in-patients and 15 out-patients treated at a private psychiatric institution). A marked stabilizing effect with no relapses was observed. Therefore, it can safely be said that Haloperidol Decanoate helped in controling these patients satisfactorily, and getting a positive social reintegration.
