Ratio of serum prolactin to haloperidol and early clinical outcome in acute psychosis
ME Swigar, PI Jatlow, N Goicoechea, C Opsahl and MB Bowers Jr
The ratio of the increase in serum prolactin concentration to steady- state
haloperidol concentration in acutely psychotic women correlated with early
clinical improvement. Correction of prolactin response for neuroleptic
concentration may provide a better clinical predictor than either measure
alone.
