Abstract: There is little information on the prescription practice for chronic schizophrenics, especially in Asia. A survey in a mental hospital in Hong Kong revealed a high mean daily dose of antipsychotics and a high frequency of use of anticholinergic drugs. The significance of these findings is discussed.
