Title:
RECURRENCE PREVENTIVE THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR PSYCHOSTIMULANT-INDUCED PSYCHOSIS AND SCHIZOPHRENIA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/093192
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a recurrence preventive therapeutic agent for psychostimulant-induced psychosis and schizophernia. The therapeutic agent comprises a substance capable of enhancing the signal transduction of serotonin as the active ingredient. The substance is preferably a selective serotonon reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or a double serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), since it can bind to a transporter capable of inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the synaptic gap to inhibit the uptake of serotonin.
