Extract

The need for a long-acting phenothiazine has been long recognized, especially since it has been shown (Parkes et al., 1962; Renton et al., 1963; Kline, 1964; Willcox et al., 1965; Wilson and Enoch, 1967) that a high proportion of schizophrenic patients do not take their prescribed medicines.
