In subsequent analyses, the authors found that among patients with affective disorders, only current use of medium--to high-potency FGAs (haloperidol, prochlorperazine, and
trifluoperazine) was associated with a significantly increased risk of seizures (adjusted odds ratio: 2.51, CI, 1.51 to 4.18) compared with non-users.
In previous works investigating the separation of the pharmaceutical-metal complexes [10, 11] and therefore, they proved that the ZIC-HILIC columns are able to separate des-ferrioxamine-metal and
trifluoperazine hydrochlo-ride-metal complexes by IC-ICP-AES.
Typically, high-potency first-generation antipsychotics such as
trifluoperazine and haloperidol are frequently associated with NMS as compared to the second-generation antipsychotics [1, 2].
([dagger]) Twelve patients were receiving olanzapine, 8 on quetiapine, 4 on risperidone, 2 on chlorpromazine, and 1 each on amisulpride, aripiprazole, and
trifluoperazine. ([double dagger]) Seven patients were receiving escitalopram, 5 each on sertraline and mirtazapine, 4 on bupropion, 2 on fluoxetine, and 1 each on venlafaxine and imipramine.
Therapy with certain psychoactive drugs has been described as successful, including
trifluoperazine hydrochloride, pimozide, olanzapine, lithium, doxepin, fluoxetine, and sertraline, as well as cognitive psychotherapy, hypnosis, and habit-reversal techniques (4, 8-13).
[3] Many antipsychotics (both typical and atypical) like chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, haloperidol,
trifluoperazine, amisulpride, olanzapine and risperidone have been implicated.
The distribution of typical and atypical antipsychotic exposures Antipsychotics n % Typical antipsychotics Thioridazine 4 6.1 Chlorpromazine 5 7.6 Mesoridazine 1 1.5

Among the cases who used typical antipsychotic drugs, 39 (83%) were prescribed haloperidol, 5 (10.6%) were prescribed chlorpromazine while only 3 (6.4%) cases took
trifluoperazine.
