Product DescriptionHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Chlorpromazine (as chlorpromazine hydrochloride, abbreviated CPZ, marketed in the US as Thorazine, as Largactil in Europe) is the oldest typical antipsychotic. The molecular structure is 2-chloro-10-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-phenothiazine. Chlorpromazine effectively treats schizophrenia, severe mania in people with bipolar disorder, and uncontrollable hiccups. Synthesized on December 11, 1950, chlorpromazine was the first drug developed with specific antipsychotic action. Its use has been described as the single biggest advance in psychiatric treatment, dramatically improving the prognosis of patients in psychiatric hospitals worldwide.

Product DescriptionHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The emphasis of the treatment of bipolar disorder is on effective management of the long-term course of the illness, which can involve treatment of emergent symptoms. Treatment methods include pharmacological and psychological techniques. Medications called mood stabilizers are used to prevent or mitigate manic or depressive episodes. Mood stabilizing medications with demonstrated efficacy include lithium, and anticonvulsants such as Depakote, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine. The atypical antipsychotics are all FDA approved for acute treatment of mania (quetiapine, olanzapine, risperidone).
