1. Seven patients with TD were treated with a single dose of ceruletide 0.8 microgram/kg i.m. 2. EMG and MV were recorded, and the average power spectrum was computed. 3. Effect of ceruletide on TD within 2 hr after injection was varied (3 cases: inhibitory, 2 cases: facilitatory, 2 cases: no effect). 4. Two patients with severe TD, who showed improvement after a single administration, received repeated administration of ceruletide (0.6 microgram/kg i.m.) and their TD symptoms were recorded on videotape for blind consensus ratings. In both patients ceruletide caused a marked decrease in severity of TD, and the effects lasted for several weeks. 5. The present findings might contribute to further understanding of the role of CCK in the brain and to the treatment of TD.

D014150 Antipsychotic Agents Agents that control agitated psychotic behavior, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. They are used in SCHIZOPHRENIA; senile dementia; transient psychosis following surgery; or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; etc. These drugs are often referred to as neuroleptics alluding to the tendency to produce neurological side effects, but not all antipsychotics are likely to produce such effects. Many of these drugs may also be effective against nausea, emesis, and pruritus.
