The economics of psychotropic drug prescribing, including the reasons for these increases, are considered. Ways of cutting the drug bill are examined

The electrochemical reduction of pivazepam was investigated by differential pulse polarography. Keduction of the drug was carried out in one irreversible, diffusion-controlled step using Britton-Robinson buffers. The peak potential at pH 5.0 and 10% methanol-water solutions was -0.95 V (vs. Ag/AgC1/
