Intramuscular Ziprasidone Compared With Intramuscular Haloperidol in the Treatment of Acute Psychosis

Abstract

Ziprasidone i.m. was significantly more effective in reducing the symptoms of acute psychosis and was better tolerated than haloperidol i.m., particularly in movement disorders. The transition from ziprasidone i.m. to oral ziprasidone was effective and well tolerated.
