haloperidol and Hypertrophy

haloperidol has been researched along with Hypertrophy in 3 studies

Haloperidol: A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279)
haloperidol : A compound composed of a central piperidine structure with hydroxy and p-chlorophenyl substituents at position 4 and an N-linked p-fluorobutyrophenone moiety.

Hypertrophy: General increase in bulk of a part or organ due to CELL ENLARGEMENT and accumulation of FLUIDS AND SECRETIONS, not due to tumor formation, nor to an increase in the number of cells (HYPERPLASIA).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The relationship between enlargement of the lateral ventricles in the brains of schizophrenic patients and clinical response to neuroleptic treatment, as assessed by the ventricle-brain ratio (VBR) and psychopathology scores, was studied in a sample of 39 patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective psychosis during a drug-free washout and after 3 1/2 weeks of treatment with either haloperidol or thioridazine."3.67Lateral ventricular enlargement and clinical response in schizophrenia. ( Baumgartner, R; Burd, A; Calderon, M; Gordon, J; Mauldin, M; Ravichandran, GK; Smith, RC; Vroulis, G, 1985)
