Chlorpromazine
Chlorpromazine (as chlorpromazine
hydrochloride
, abbreviated CPZ) is a
phenothiazine
antipsychotic
.Its principal use is in the treatment of
schizophrenia
, though it has also been used to treat
hiccups
and
nausea
. Its use today has been largely supplanted by the newer
atypical antipsychotics
such as
olanzapine
and
quetiapine
. Chlorpromazine works on a variety of receptors in the
central nervous system
; these include
anticholinergic
,
antidopaminergic
and
antihistamine
effects as well as some antagonism of adrenergic receptors. Chlorpromazine, along with many of the older antipsychotics which have minimal effect on the serotonergic pathways, is considered a
typical antipsychotic
.
