THORAZINE Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is THORAZINE?
THORAZINE is the brand name for chlorpramazine and is available as an oral tablet and oral concentrate.

How does THORAZINE work?
THORAZINE is an antipsychotic medication. It works by controlling dopamine activity in your brain, which affects your thoughts and mood. It also helps relax you and lowers nausea and vomiting.

THORAZINE dose varies depending on the condition you’re taking chlorpromazine for. In general, the typical dose ranges from 10 mg to 50 mg by mouth two to four times a day. If you’re taking chlorpromazine for restlessness and anxiety before surgery, the typical dose is 25 mg to 50 mg by mouth once, 2 to 3 hours before your procedure.
Is it safe for me to take THORAZINE?
THORAZINE is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have any of the following:
- Circulatory collapse.
- CNS depression, e.g. coma or drug intoxication.
Previous history of a hypersensitivity reaction (e.g. jaundice or blood dyscrasia) to phenothiazines, especially chlorpromazine itself, or to any of the excipients contained in the tablets or injection - Bone marrow depression
- Phaeochromocytoma
- Hepatic failure or active hepatic disease

Effects of other drugs, drug classes and over-the-counter products on THORAZINE
The following medications may interact with THORAZINE:
- Interactions resulting in decreased THORAZINE levels
- Food, alcohol and benztropine can reduce the absorption of THORAZINE. Antacids can slow the absorption of THORAZINE. Lithium and chronic administration of barbiturates can lead to increased clearance of THORAZINE
- Interactions resulting in increased THORAZINE levels
- Tricyclic antidepressants decrease the clearance of THORAZINE and may lead to increased serum levels.
- Administration of THORAZINE with CYP1A2 inhibitors, in particular strong (such as ciprofloxacin and fluvoxamine) or moderate (such as oral contraceptives and vemurafenib) inhibitors leads to an increase in THORAZINE plasma concentrations. Therefore, patients may experience any THORAZINE dose-dependent adverse drug reaction
