Extract

It has been shown by Parkes (1) and other workers that about 45 per cent. of out-patient schizophrenics are unreliable at taking their phenothiazine medication. It is in this group that many relapse and require readmission to hospital. Kline (2) quotes that 20 per cent. of in-patients are also unreliable in this regard. With the advent of a long-action phenothiazine injection fluphenazine enanthate, control of these difficult patients may well prove more effective.
