    Chlorpromazine (brand name Thorazine) is an antipsychotic medication used to treat acute and chronic psychoses, particularly when accompanied by increased psychomotor activity, nausea, vomiting, and intractable hiccups. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and altering dopamine release and turnover. Nursing considerations include monitoring the patient's mental status, vital signs, intake and output, and for potential adverse effects such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome, hypotension, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention, and extrapyramidal reactions. Abrupt withdrawal from chlorpromazine may cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or uncontrolled movements.
