Chlorpromazine
Chlorpromazine is a medication primarily used to treat psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps reduce symptoms of psychosis and agitation. Chlorpromazine is also used for the treatment of severe nausea and vomiting, and for short-term treatment of severe anxiety.
How is this medication used?
Chlorpromazine should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food. The dosage and length of treatment depend on the medical condition, response to treatment, and according to the specific guidance provided by the prescribing healthcare practitioner.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of chlorpromazine include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and weight gain. It may also cause low blood pressure, restlessness, and extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors or stiffness. Long-term use can lead to tardive dyskinesia, a condition characterized by involuntary, repetitive body movements.
What are the potential interactions?
Chlorpromazine can interact with a wide range of medications, increasing the risk for side effects or reducing effectiveness. It should not be taken with alcohol due to increased sedation. Caution is advised when taken with other CNS depressants, anticholinergic agents, antihypertensives, and medications metabolized by the liver. Always consult with a healthcare provider for a full list of potential interactions.
