Effectiveness of the repeated administration of scopolamine ointment on clozapine-induced hypersalivation in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia: A preliminary study.
Asia-Pacific Psychiatry : Official Journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrists 2017 December
INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the efficacy of scopolamine (an anticholinergic agent) ointment against clozapine-induced hypersalivation.
METHODS: The patients enrolled in this study consisted of 10 clozapine-treated schizophrenia patients and 10 healthy adult men. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled clinical trial was designed.
RESULTS: A total of 10 patients and 10 healthy adult men completed the study. No significant reduction in the saliva production of the clozapine-treated patients was observed; however, that of the healthy adult men decreased significantly.
DISCUSSION: Scopolamine ointment was not effective against clozapine-induced hypersalivation. A further study is necessary for confirming its effect.
