[Tiapride : a clinical study in a department of internal medicine (author's transl)].

Effectiveness and tolerance of tiapride were studied in twenty patients in a department of internal medicine. Tiapride was effective against acute manifestations of alcoholism and against agitation, especially in the elderly. There were no serious side-effects, particularly on hemodynamics and vigilance. At the dosage used in our study the analgesic effect of tiapride was both unreliable and transient.
