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.

What you will receive

Thorazine is the originator brand name, made by GSK. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with GSK and do not ship the original Thorazine.

  • You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Chlorpromazine) at the same dose, mostly recognised branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
  • The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
  • Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
