two promising new drugs for schizophrenia
August 1996
You'll hear a lot over the next several months about two promising new drugs for schizophrenia...olanzapine (Zyprexa, Lilly) and sertindole (Serlect, Abbott).
They're "atypical" antipsychotics...similar to clozapine (Clozaril) or risperidone (Risperdal).
These drugs work at least as well as traditional antipsychotics (haloperidol, etc)...and cause fewer movement disorders.
