STANDARD‐HIGHER DOSE (greater than or equal to 6‐<10 mg/day) vs ANY DOSE ‐ short term

Global state: 1. No clinically important improvement ‐ CGI‐I ‐ when compared with low dose (greater than or equal to 2‐<4 mg/day) · patients with schizophrenia

STANDARD‐HIGHER DOSE (greater than or equal to 6‐<10 mg/day) probably leads to lower global state: 1. No clinically important improvement ‐ CGI‐I ‐ when… compared with ANY DOSE ‐ short term (moderate certainty).

CHLORPROMAZINE LOW DOSE (≤ 400 mg/day) vs MEDIUM DOSE (401 mg/day to 800 mg/day)

Global state: no improvement ‐ short term · patients with schizophrenia

It is very uncertain whether CHLORPROMAZINE LOW DOSE (≤ 400 mg/day) changes global state: no improvement ‐ short term compared with MEDIUM DOSE (401 mg/day to 800 mg/day) (very low certainty).

CHLORPROMAZINE LOW DOSE (≤ 400 mg/day) vs HIGH DOSE (> 800 mg/day ‐ all medium term)

Behaviour: deterioration of behaviour (categorised as reason to leave early) · schizophrenia

CHLORPROMAZINE LOW DOSE (≤ 400 mg/day) may leads to higher behaviour: deterioration of behaviour (categorised as reason to… compared with HIGH DOSE (> 800 mg/day ‐ all medium term) (low certainty).

CHLORPROMAZINE LOW DOSE (≤ 400 mg/day) vs HIGH DOSE (> 800 mg/day ‐ all medium term)

Adverse effects: unspecified extrapyramidal symptoms · schizophrenia

CHLORPROMAZINE LOW DOSE (≤ 400 mg/day) probably leads to lower adverse effects: unspecified extrapyramidal symptoms compared with HIGH DOSE (> 800 mg/day ‐ all medium term) (moderate certainty).
