Our experience with incisive neuroleptic drugs in child psychiatry.
The authors report their own experiences of treatment with incisive neuroleptic drugs in child psychiatry (haloperidol, pimozide, penfluridol, sulpiride). An attention was paid to side effects of the treatment, especially to a possible side effect of cardiovascular character, namely that pimozide might block Ca channels. The authors made a control check of ECG and report the findings. The results of the treatment of various disorders (tic disorders, psychosis, obsessive- compulsive diseases, autism) are very good. The authors never came across the picture of serious side effects e.g. of tardive dyskinesis.
