THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Neuroleptic
ACTION
Chlorpromazine is a phenothiazine of the aminopropyl group. It is a
potent antipsychotic
and sedative agent which can control various states of emotional
tension, agitation,
hyperactivity and confusion. In addition, it exerts an anti-emetic
action and potentiates
the effects of narcotics, barbiturates and analgesics.
INDICATIONS
In psychiatry - schizophrenia, manic depressive psychoses (manic
phase), behavioural
disorders, involutional psychoses, senile psychoses and confusional
states in the
elderly.
In general medicine - nausea, vomiting; persistent hiccup and organic
conditions
associated with emotional stress: acute or chronic alcoholism and for
the treatment of
withdrawal symptoms of addicts and alcoholics.
In obstetrics and surgery - as a preoperative medication for the
relief of apprehension;
to reduce, by potentiation, narcotic and analgesic requirements; as an
antiemetic; to
prevent and treat traumatic or postoperative shock; for use in
artificial hibernation and
controlled hypotension.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Severe CNS depression or comatose states due to alcohol, barbiturates,

prolongation have been
reported with LARGACTIL. Neuroleptic phenothiazines may potentiate QT
interval
prolongation, which increases the risk of onset of serious ventricular
arrhythmias of t
