What is Almus Chlorpromazine (CPZ) 100mg Used For?
In Nigeria, doctors frequently prescribe Chlorpromazine 100mg for:
- Management of Schizophrenia and Psychosis: It helps stabilize moods and reduce hallucinations or delusions by balancing dopamine levels in the brain.
- Intractable Hiccups: It is one of the few medically recognized treatments for persistent hiccups that do not respond to other methods.
- Severe Nausea and Vomiting: Often used in clinical settings to control extreme bouts of vomiting.
- Acute Agitation: Provides short-term relief for severe anxiety or agitation.
Dosage and Administration
- How to take: Swallow the tablets whole with water. Do not crush or chew them as they are film-coated for controlled release and taste masking.
- Timing: CPZ should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually 2 to 4 times a day depending on the condition being treated.
- Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose.
Important Safety Information
- Drowsiness: This medication can cause significant sleepiness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Sensitivity to Sun: Chlorpromazine makes your skin more sensitive to the Nigerian sun. Use sunscreen or wear protective clothing to avoid "sunburn-like" reactions.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before using CPZ if you are pregnant or nursing.
