title: [Clinical experience with bromperidol in chronic psychoses].
abstract: Bromperidol therapeutic efficacy, and tolerance was studied by means of a 3-month open trial on 25 chronic psychotic female inpatients from a room at San Juan ward for medium to extensive length of stay, The Braulio A. Moyano National Psychiatric Hospital, Buenos Aires. This drug was administered orally on a single 10- to 35 mg night dose. No effect whatsoever was observed on periodic catatonia. However, its being well-tolerated and effective on chronic psychotic patients, coupled to the "bonus" of a single daily dose, turns BP into a suitable alternative drug for Haloperidol when dealing with schizophrenia, and delusions with no deficitary evolution.
