Plasma flupentixol concentrations and clinical response in acute schizophrenia. 1985

A E Balant-Gorgia, and R Eisele, and J M Aeschlimann, and L P Balant, and G Garrone

Twenty-three acutely psychotic inpatients treated with flupentixol were included in the study. Steady-state plasma concentrations were compared with therapeutic outcome in a routine clinical setting. The threshold concentration for satisfactory antipsychotic effect appeared to be approximately 2 ng/ml. Controlled studies are needed to establish the existence and exact limits of a therapeutic window.
