The hostile patient. He vacillates from suspiciousness to rage. His disorientation is apparent through his erratic outbursts against imagined enemies. His irrational behavior worries his family. And hinders your treatment. How do you reach him? Very possibly, with Quide (piperacetazine). Clinical studies of schizophrenic patients on a regimen of Quide have demonstrated moderate to excellent improvement in mental status and remission of hyperactive, combative behavior. Improvement in interpersonal relationships and adjustment to therapy were especially notable. In clinical evaluation, although extrapyramidal reactions did occur, the low incidence of these reactions allowed for patient cooperation. When Parkinsonism did occur, it was easily controlled by modification of dosage or, infrequently, the addition of an anti-Parkinson agent. Photosensitivity rarely occurred. Quide (piperacetazine)…it may well be what some of your patients are waiting for. |
