    Abstract

    Oral sertindole (Serdolect) is an atypical antipsychotic approved in the EU for once-daily use in patients with schizophrenia who are intolerant to at least one other antipsychotic agent. Extensive data from post-marketing studies do not indicate an excess of overall mortality with sertindole. Sertindole is at least as effective as haloperidol and risperidone in the treatment of neuroleptic-responsive schizophrenia. Sertindole improves negative symptoms, and is also effective for the treatment of neuroleptic-resistant schizophrenia. Sertindole is generally well tolerated and is associated with a low rate of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Thus, sertindole is a useful option in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia.
