[Fluphenazine dihydrochloride--a multicenter trial on 660 patients (author's transl)].

Selected patients were treated with fluphenazine dihydrochloride. Summarizing the studies 51 investigators from 32 hospitals conducted, permits only a relative statement because, without doubt, also various additional social and psychotherapeutical treatments were employed. The findings, however, emphasize the authors' personal judgements considering fluphenazine dihydrochloride a qualified drug for psychiatric emergency cases and also particularly for the treatment of acute schizophrenic episodes. On account of the broadly disseminated identical findings about fluphenazine dihydrochloride further studies are being planned to which a scientific standard can be applied.
