title: [Prescribing tiapridal for headache and other painful conditions].
abstract: Tiapridal a new molecule of the benzamide family, raises the pain-threshold level in the mesolimbic system. It has been shown to be effective in 66% of cases of headaches and pain resistant to therapy, and 75% of patients with nausea and vomiting associated with headaches. The average dosage is between 150 and 300 mg or day (1/2 to 1 tablet, 3 times a day). The product is extremely well-tolerated. Somnolence, the most frequent side-effect was noted in 17% of cases. Because of its excellent tolerance it can be prescribed in debilitated patients, alcoholics, and the elderly.
