ABSTRACT
Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptics, are effective for controlling the characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia, delusions and hallucinations, but they have serious extrapyramidal reactions that alter the patients lives, for this reason it was performed the following Study of Medicine Use (SMU), in analytical, observational, prospective, prescription-indication ways, with elements of practical consequences in Santa Maria´s Health Station, in Brazil, during the period of January to June 2015; with the aim of characterizing the use of neuroleptic drugs. It was identified that the mostly used neuroleptics were the typical ones, including chlorpromazine and haloperidol. In regards to combinations, the most frequent were with amitriptyline and imipramine, and the greatest prescribers were general practitioners, for which it was valued appropriately the prescription of neuroleptics in the studied population.REFERENCES
