Chlorpromazine
Chlorpromazine, ball and stick molecular model. Chlorpromazine is also known as chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ), Thorazine in the US and as Largactil in Europe. It was one of the first antipsychotic drugs developed to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Chlorpromazine acts by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. In psychotic patients with overactivity of dopamine in the brain, chlopromazine produces a calming effect and controls aggression, delusions and hallucinations. It is also prescribed to control nausea, vomiting and persistent hiccups

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate ball and stick molecular model of Chlorpromazine, a groundbreaking antipsychotic drug. Also known as chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ), Thorazine in the US, and Largactil in Europe, this medication was among the first to be developed for treating schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The image beautifully captures the essence of Chlorpromazine's chemical structure, highlighting its vital role in blocking dopamine receptors within the brain. By doing so, it effectively curbs aggression, delusions, hallucinations - symptoms often experienced by individuals with overactive dopamine levels. Beyond its psychiatric applications, Chlorpromazine finds use in controlling persistent hiccups as well as managing nausea and vomiting. Its multifaceted nature is reflected through its presence within various medical fields such as biochemistry, pharmacology, psychiatry, and molecular biology. As we delve into this visual representation of scientific progress and innovation within medicine, we are reminded of how far we have come in understanding mental health disorders. This photograph serves not only as a testament to human ingenuity but also highlights the significance of biochemical research that has paved the way for better treatments. Captivatingly captured by Science Photo Library without any commercial intent or mention of specific companies involved; this image stands as an emblematic reminder of our relentless pursuit towards improving lives through scientific advancements.
