Abstract
The author describes his experience in using long-acting injectable fluphenazines with chronic schizophrenic patients in a continuing-care program in San Diego County. He has found the drug to be economical, long-lasting in therapeutic effect, and less likely than other drugs to produce serious side-effects, particularly tardive dyskinesia. In addition, use of injectables makes it possible to avoid depending on untrained operators of residential facilities to see that the patients take their drugs.
