[Relationship between perazine serum concentration and clinical results in long-term treated schizophrenic
Abstract:
The perazine serum concentration was determined with a new gaschromatographic method in 33 schizophrenic outpatients of our psychiatric catamnestic unit who had received perazine for a period of 18 years. A very high constancy of the perazine serum level could be demonstrated by repeated measurements. A close connection existed between perazine dosage and perazine serum level. Both findings suggest a very good complicance of these patients. Serum levels were correlated positively with the intensity of the psychopathologic symptoms as well as with the frequency of side-effects, particularly with slight changes of liver enzymes.
