[Evaluation of the antipyretic action of psychotropic drugs and their effect on the antipyretic effect of acupuncture therapy]

Nezhentsev MV, Aleksandrov SI.

The effect of psychotropic agents on antipyretic effect of acupuncture was studied in rabbits with experimental fever. Haloperidol in the dosage 0.5 mg/kg and benactyzine in the dosage 0.1 mg/kg, that reduced the fever response in rabbits and amitriptyline which induced no significant changes in the fever, led to enhancement of antipyretic effect of acupuncture. Haloperidol and benactyzine in the dose 1 mg/kg, that dropped the temperature by a single administration, and diazepam, which didn't influence upon the fever, reduced the intensity and duration of the antipyretic effect of acupuncture.
