An investigation on the use of psychotropic drugs in a Swiss university psychiatric hospital shows that compared with other drug surveys drugs were prescribed to relatively fewer patients and polypharmacy was used in less than 50% of the patients. The most frequently administered drugs were neuroleptics, among which, surprisingly. Clozapine ranked first. Antidepressants were prescribed in relatively low doses. A drug survey like ours can provide a basis for the critical discussion of prescribing habits.
