Chlorpromazine

Chlorpromazine is an antipsychotic medication used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and behavioral disturbances in dementia patients. It is also used to control severe nausea and vomiting, as well as to manage symptoms of Tourette’s syndrome.
Chlorpromazine works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps to reduce the symptoms of psychosis, such as hallucinations, delusions, and agitation. It also has sedative effects, which can help to calm patients and improve their overall well-being.
When prescribed for nausea and vomiting, chlorpromazine works by blocking the neurotransmitters that cause these symptoms, providing relief for patients experiencing severe and persistent nausea.
For patients with Tourette’s syndrome, chlorpromazine can help to reduce the frequency and severity of tics and vocalizations, improving their quality of life.
It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of chlorpromazine treatment, as directed by a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation. Patients should consult their doctor if they experience any severe side effects or if their symptoms worsen.
