| Pharmacology: | Chlorprothixene is a typical antipsychotic drug of the thioxanthine class. It has a low antipsychotic potency (half to 2/3 of chlorpromazine). An intrinsic
 antidepressant effect of chlorprothixene has been discussed, but not proven yet.
 Likewise, it is unclear, if chlorprothixene has genuine analgesic effects. An
 antiemetic effect, as with most antipsychotics, exists. It is used in the treatment
 of nervous, mental, and emotional conditions. Improvement in such conditions is
 thought to result from the effect of the medicine on nerve pathways in specific
 areas of the brain. Chlorprothixene has a strong sedative activity with a high
 incidence of anticholinergic side-effects. Chlorprothixene is structurally related
 to chlorpromazine, with which it shares in principal all side effects. Allergic
 side-effects and liver damage seem to appear with an appreciable lower frequency.
 | 
| Mechanism_of_action: | Chlorprothixene blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors in the brain; depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones and is
 believed to depress the reticular activating system thus affecting basal metabolism,
 body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis.
