| Chlorpromazine |
Chlorpromazine is a phenothiazine neuroleptic. Chlorpromazine has depressant actions on the Central Nervous System, with alpha-adrenergic blocking and anticholinergic activities. It has anti-emetic, anti-puritic, serotonin-blocking and weak anti-histamine properties and slight ganglion blocking activity. |
|
| Levomepromazine |
Levomepromazine resembles chlorpromazine and promethazine in the pattern of its pharmacology. It possesses anti-emetic, antihistamine and anti-adrenaline activity and exhibits a strong sedative effect. |
|
| Promazine |
Promazine has a wide range of activity arising from its depressant actions on the central nervous system and its alpha-adrenergic blocking and weaker anticholinergic activities. Promazine is a dopamine inhibitor. |
