Klorazine Inj

Klorazine Inj Uses

This medication is used to treat several mental/mood disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, mania, restlessness/nervousness, behavior problems), nausea/vomiting, severe/persistent hiccups, a certain liver problem (acute porphyria). It is also used before surgery to prevent nausea/vomiting, or may be given with other medication to treat a certain infection (tetanus). For nervousness, it is usually used when other medications cannot be taken. Chlorpromazine can improve the symptoms of schizophrenia, mania, and mood disorders, making it easier to function in everyday life. Chlorpromazine is part of a class of drugs called phenothiazines. It works by affecting the balance of certain chemicals in the brain.

Chlorpromazine injection is used when faster-acting treatment is needed or medications cannot be taken by mouth.
