Managing the side effects of chlorpromazine in psychiatric patients
In my latest blog post, I discuss the importance of managing the side effects of chlorpromazine in psychiatric patients. This medication, often used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, can sometimes cause various side effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, and weight gain. It's crucial for patients and their healthcare team to work together in monitoring and addressing these side effects to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes. I share some tips on how to manage these side effects, such as staying well-hydrated, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy diet. By taking a proactive approach, patients can continue to benefit from chlorpromazine while minimizing any negative impact on their overall health and well-being.
