MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 60 children, детей, 42 boys and 18 girls, mean age 8.0±2.0 years. Patients were divided into two equal groups. The duration of the study was 30 days. The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) was used. Safety was assessed by sedation scores and serum prolactin levels.
