Patient summary
Chlorpromazine 50mg and 100mg film-coated tablets, used for schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, nausea and vomiting and intractable hiccups.
Mechanism of action
Thorazine acts primarily as an antagonist at postsynaptic dopamine receptors in the limbic system, hypothalamus, and basal ganglia. By blocking these receptors, it reduces the hyperactivity associated with psychotic conditions and helps regain stability in neurotransmitter signaling.
Thorazine is a medication containing chlorpromazine, an active ingredient used to treat schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, and nausea and vomiting. This medication is also sold under the brand name Largactil. It is supplied as a tablet in strengths of 50mg and 100mg.
Buying Thorazine online
While the original brand remains a standard, generic chlorpromazine is often more affordable. For expats and those living in regions where accessing familiar medication can be difficult, this treatment is an option, though it is best used under the ongoing guidance of a doctor.
Will I receive the original Thorazine?
No. Thorazine is the originator brand name, made by GSK, and Yasabai uses it to identify the medicine: you receive a generic with the same active ingredient (chlorpromazine) at the same dose, mostly a recognised Indian branded generic. The exact brand depends on stock.
How is Thorazine priced?
It depends on the strength and pack. Thorazine comes in 50 and 100mg strengths, in packs of 30 to 360 tablets, and the price per tablet for every option is shown above, in US dollars or the currency you choose. Larger packs cost less per tablet. Paying with Bitcoin or Ethereum gives you an extra 10% off.
