| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Prochlorperazine |
Prochlorperazine belongs to the phenothiazine group. Prochlorperazine has a wide range of activity arising from its depressant actions on the CNS and its alpha-adrenergic blocking and weaker anti-muscarinic properties. It inhibits dopamine and prolactin-release-inhibitory factor, thus stimulating the release of prolactin. |
