DESCRIPTION
Chlorprothixene, sold under the brand name Truxal among others, is a typical antipsychotic of the thioxanthene group. Chlorprothixene blocks dopamine (D2) receptors in the brain, helping reduce psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It also has sedative and anxiolytic effects due to its action on other receptors. It has a low antipsychotic potency (half to 2/3 of chlorpromazine). Chlorprothixene has not thoroughly demonstrated an antidepressant or analgesic effect but it has demonstrated antiemetic effects. It is used in the treatment of nervous, mental, and emotional conditions. Further read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorprothixene
