thorazine

n. brand name of chlorpromazine, medication used an as antiemetic and antipsychotic

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.
