Effects of long-term treatment with haloperidol, clozapine and aripiprazole on mice isolated vas deferens.

Purpose: Sexual dysfunction is a common condition in patients taking antipsychotics and is the most bothersome symptom and adverse drug effect, resulting in a negative effect on treatment compliance. Pharmacology research into human ejeculatory disorders is limited to clinical studies with registered drugs affecting the ejaculation process; therefore, animal research has become the need. We aimed to investigate the effects of haloperidol, clozapine and aripiprazole on serotonin, noradrenaline, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and potassium chloride (KCl)-induced contractions of the vas deferens in order to evaluate the effect of haloperidol, clozapine and aripiprazole on the contraction of the vas deferens.
