[Depot fluphenazine as a means of stabilizing remission in cases of schizophrenia].
(1) The use of compounds with a prolonged effect completely does away with the uncontrolled intake of drugs, which leads to a considerable reduction in the number of relapses and exacerbations. (2) It allows a diminution of the maintenance dosage and thereby reduces the occurrence of side-effects and furthermore the danger of the chemo-toxic damaging of a series of inner organs and systems. (3) It facilitates the organisation of the treatment of patients in the hospital, so that a more frequent daily administration of drugs is unnecessary. (4) On the side of the patients, the feeling that their condition is constantly dependent of the intake of drugs is reduced and the notion that they suffer from a chronic incurable disease is weakened.
