Abstract

The effects of biperiden and piroheptine on the serum level of zotepine were studied in 15 schizophrenic and 6 mentally retarded in-patients. Neither of these anticholinergic drugs affected the serum level of zotepine nor caused significant side-effects. In the schizophrenics the total scores on the BPRS did not change significantly with either combination of drugs.
