Chlorpromazine helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It can reduce aggressive behavior and the desire to hurt yourself/others. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (hearing/seeing things that are not there). Chlorpromazine is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called phenothiazine antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. Chlorpromazine is also used to control nausea/vomiting, relieve prolonged hiccups, relieve restlessness/anxiety before surgery, and help treat tetanus. | |||

| Add Acepromazine review was prescribed to give 1 or 2 pills, but gave 1/2 of one instead. give half hour to see if more is needed. 60 lb. springer for fireworks or thunderstorms. more concerned of long term effects Vet gave me this drug for my dog due to anxiety due to fireworks. I have a 7 pound Morkie. 5mg was suppose to last approx. 8 hours. It was too strong and lasted almost 20 hours. My dog could hardly walk and had very labored breathing. | Add Chlorpromazine review This medicine was prescribed to my father at age 81 for non stop hiccuping upon which he was in such a stupor and oblivious to his surroundings that we had to pick him up and place him his chair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! had hiccups 4 days. dr prescribed this . It stopped hiccups. My husband has had 2 surgeries in the past 10 years and got hiccups after both of them. The first surgery's hiccups lastest 3 days off and on, mostly on. I called the surgeon and he immediately called in oral Thorazine for him...one dose stopped them. His second surgery, he was unable to take Thorazine due to a potential interaction with another drug he had already been given. They tried Reglan, but it only helped for a few hours and the hiccups came back. This problem after surgery is thought to be from a sensitive phrenic nerve...the diaphragm is irritated by the anesthesia gas and can cause the person to have hiccups for days... Hope this info helps someone else! | |||
