Abstract
A group of 47 elderly patients with various ailments and aged between 66 and 99 years were treated with tiapride: very good results were obtained in 7 cases of severe buccofacial dyskinesia, though the dosage had to go as high as 800 mg/day; results were excellent in 2 cases, good in 9, moderate in 5, and nil in 3 out of 19 patients with agitated states; overall results were good (1 failure) in 8 cases of alcoholism (4 acute and 4 chronic); 8 good results and 4 failures were noted in 12 patients with either cancer pain, or pain following zoster or due to arthrosis or migraine. The product was very well-tolerated by these elderly patients.
