摘要
There are very few studies on the pattern of neuroleptic prescription for schizophrenics in Asia. 106 schizophrenic patients in a psychiatric unit of a general teaching hospital in Hong Kong were surveyed. The mean daily dose (in chlorpromazine equivalent) was low (568.5mg). The mean daily dose of high potency agents was four times that of low potency agents. A high frequency of use of anticholinergic drugs may indicate that Chinese are more susceptible to acute extrapyramidal side-effects.
