Depot fluphenazine and plasma prolactin.
In 14 schizophrenic patients, prolactin levels are studied in relation to dosage of depot fluphenazine and gender of patient. Prolactin levels in individual patients are similar across injection cycles. For males, the association between fluphenazine dosage and prolactin level was found to be significant (Spearman rho = .925, p less than .05).
