Four normal volunteers each received three intraduodenal infusions of 0.5 mg triazolam solutions. Three treatments were: 1. a pH 2.3 solution in which 47 per cent of the dose had hydrolysed to form a triazolo-benzophenone (TB); 2. a pH 6.0 solution containing negligible TB; 3. the p H 6.0 solution

โฆ Synopsis
All the case reports describing neurotoxicity following combined lithium and haloperidol treatment could well be consistent with lithium toxicity alone. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacological explanations are considered. The effects of co-administered lithium and neuroleptic treatment on fluid balance mechanisms and intracellular lithium concentrations may be associated with increased lithium toxicity.

PLP and its smaller DM20 isoform constitute the major proteins of CNS myelin. Previous studies indicated a role for the proteins in maintaining the intraperiod line of the myelin sheath and the integrity of axons and suggested that both isoforms were necessary to provide these functions. The present
