Efficacy comment[edit]

The article states that it has an efficacy similar to risperidone. This is claim is reflected in the article cited, which in turn cites an RCT. The RCT found no significant difference between the two.

More recent meta-analysis however shows sertindole to be inferior to risperidone, clozapine, and olanzapine^[1].

I'm not an expert, so am not going to edit the article myself, but thought it might be worth noting the discrepancy between the article and current evidence.Chrisjohnbloomer (talk) 03:44, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
