Thorazine
Question: What is it?

Answer: Thorazine is a major tranquilizer, used to suppress agitation and thought disorders. It is usually used after lesser strength drugs have been effective. "Save the big guns for last", the only serious long term potential disorder is tardive dyskinesia. This is an involuntary smacking of the lips and grimmacing which is completely irreversible once it occurs. Seen in about 10% of long term patients;but, to be avoided if possible. Some patients also experience malignant hyperthermia. This is uncontrolled temperature regulation of the body and can be fatal. This usually occurs right away or not at all. But, occasionally will occur after time on the drug.
