Chlorpromazine is a classic antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. It reduces hallucinations, delusions, and nervousness by affecting dopamine receptors in the brain. Patients should use the drug according to the doctor's instructions and strictly adhere to the dosage and frequency of medication. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. Avoid drinking alcohol and driving motor vehicles while taking it. If you experience serious side effects (such as muscle stiffness, irregular heartbeat, or seizures), seek medical attention immediately. Chlorpromazine may interact with other medications, so you should consult your doctor when using other medications. Do not change the dosage or stop using the medicine on your own, as this may affect its efficacy. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should seek help from your doctor promptly.
