The aim <strong>of</strong> the study was to investigate the influence <strong>of</strong> haloperidol (4-10 mg/day)<br />
and risperidone (Rispolept) (4-6 mg/day) on the plasmatic concentrations <strong>of</strong><br />
magnesium, calcium, copper and zinc, and on the erythrocyte magnesium level. We<br />
determined the cations levels before the hospitalized adult patients received any<br />
therapy and after 3 weeks <strong>of</strong> therapy. Our data indicate a lower erythrocyte<br />
magnesium in schizophrenics before treatment compared to the level found in<br />
controls (4,82±0,02 mg/dl in schizophrenic patients before treatment versus<br />
5,82±0,11 mg/dl in control group, p
