Abstract
Levels of prolactin (PRL) in plasma were determined in schizophrenic women and men after i.m. injections of 50-150 mg perphenazine enanthate (PE). In both sexes PRL levels increased dose-dependently. In men the effect was significant for 2 and in women for 9 days. Biperiden treatment did not influence the effect of PE on the PRL levels. The data support the view that clinically used doses of PE induce a small but significant blockade of central dopamine receptors.Entities:
