Fluphenazine and multifocal tic disorders
C. G. Goetz, C. M. Tanner and H. L. Klawans
In a five-year study, 21 patients with multiple tic disorder intolerant of
haloperidol therapy were treated with fluphenazine hydrochloride. Sixteen
of these patients had fewer side effects with fluphenazine and had either
equivalent (five patients) or better (11 patients) tic control.
Fluphenazine can be an effective treatment for multiple tics in patients
with dose-limiting side effects related to haloperidol.
