title: [Eglonyl in the treatment of schizoaffective psychoses].
abstract: The author investigated in an open clinical study the neuroleptic and antidepressive action of Eglonyl in 17 patients who met the criteria (diagnosis of psychoaffective psychosis, symptoms in the sphere of schizophrenia, depressive pathic moods). Eglonyl was administered by injection during the first four days and in tablet form on the subsequent 24 days in individual daily doses of 300-800 mg. At the onset and after 7-day intervals the patients were followed up, by clinical and psychiatric tests, along with the evaluation of the therapeutic effect by means of the clinical global impression scale, CGI, by the BPRS scale, and side-effects by means of the SARS scale. For statistical analysis Wilcoxon's test was used. The expected neuroleptic and antidepressive action of Eglonyl was confirmed in the clinical trials in patients with schizoaffective psychosis--depressive type: marked improvement was recorded in 58.9% of patients, medium improvement in 29.4% and slight improvement in 11.7% of patients. The decline of the global score in BPRS is highly significant (T1 - Tpop = 76.5, P less than 1%).
