摘要:
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study was performed to determine whether proglumide added to ongoing neuroleptic medication was efficacious in the treatment of 32 patients with persistent positive and negative schizophrenic symptoms. Patients treated with both proglumide and placebo showed a significant improvement over the 8 weeks of the study, but no significant difference between the patients taking proglumide and those taking placebo could be demonstrated. In addition, proglumide had no effect on plasma homovanillic acid concentrations or neuroleptic drug activity. The results suggest that, at least for the dose of proglumide used in this study (15 mg/day), the addition of this particular cholecystokinin antagonist does not potentiate the antipsychotic efficacy of neuroleptic medication in patients with persistent schizophrenic symptoms.
