Resumen

Se distribuyó al azar a cincuenta pacientes ambulatorios esquizofrénicos clínicamente estables que sufrían de síntomas esquizofrénicos residuales, efectos secundarios neurológicos o ambas cosas para que continuaran su(s) neuroléptico(s) convencional(es) o lo(s) cambiaran por olanzapina. Después de doce semanas, los pacientes con olanzapina mostraban mejoría significativa en los efectos secundarios neurológicos y los síntomas psicóticos, comparado con los pacientes con antipsicóticos convencionales.
