Overview

A phenothiazine antipsychotic used in the management of psychoses, including schizophrenia, and in the control of severely disturbed or agitated behavior. It has little antiemetic activity. Thioridazine has a higher incidence of antimuscarinic effects, but a lower incidence of extrapyramidal symptoms, than chlorpromazine. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p618). Thioridazine was withdrawn worldwide in 2005 due to its association with cardiac arrythmias.

Indication

For the treatment of schizophrenia and generalized anxiety disorder.
