A 28-Week Comparison of Ziprasidone and Haloperidol in Outpatients With Stable Schizophrenia

Abstract

Ziprasidone and haloperidol were both effective in reducing overall psychopathology; ziprasidone demonstrated effective treatment of negative symptoms and was better tolerated than haloperidol. Ziprasidone appears to offer an effective alternative to haloperidol in the long-term treatment of stable outpatients with schizophrenia.
