Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of Fluoxetine and Citalopram in treatment of the depressive symptom due to Alzheimer's Disease. Methods: 80 cases of patients were randomly divided into two groups, the patients of two groups were treated with Fluoxetine and Citalopram respectively; the course was 8 weeks; HAMD and TESS was adopted to assess the clinical effect and adverse reaction. Results: HAMD of Citalopram group decreased significantly after two weeks' treatment (P<0.05), and HAMD of Fluoxetine group decreased significantly after four weeks' treatment (P< 0.05). The two groups showed the same effect after 8 weeks. Adverse reactions of two groups were lighter, the incidence of adverse reactions of Citalopram group (38.1%) was lower than Fluoxetine group (60.5%)(P<0.05). Conclusion: Citalopram has quicker effect and better safety than Fluoxetine in the depressive symptom due to AD, long-term effect of two drugs was almost the same. Citalopram is worthy of wide application in treatment of depressive symptom due to AD.%目的:比较盐酸氟西汀与西酞普兰治疗阿尔茨海默病所致抑郁症状的有效性和安全性.方法:将80例受试者随机分为两组,分别给予盐酸氟西汀和西酞普兰治疗,疗程为8周,于治疗前和治疗后2、4、6、8周末分别采用汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)和副反应量表(TESS)评定两药的疗效及不良反应.结果:在用药2周后,西酞普兰组HAMD得分较治疗前显著下降(P＜0.05),在治疗4周后盐酸氟西汀组较治疗前显著下降(P＜0.05),两组在用药8周后,疗效相当(P＞0.05).两组不良反应均较轻,西酞普兰组的总体不良反应发生率(38.1%)低于盐酸氟西汀组(60.5%)(P＜0.05).结论:在治疗阿尔茨海默病所致抑郁症方面,西酞普兰起效较快,且较盐酸氟西汀安全性好.两组长期使用疗效相当.西酞普兰适合阿尔茨海默病所致抑郁患者服用.
