A widely prescribed antipsychotic drug used to relieve symptoms of major psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia and mania. The drug reduces delusional and hallucinatory experiences and may have an effect on irritability and overactivity. It is also used as an antiemetic. Chlorpromazine may cause photosensitivity of the skin and, in some cases, parkinsonism, slow reactions, and blurred vision.
