Chlorpromazine Price in Bangladesh

Chlorpromazine is one of the oldest phenothiazine medicines, a group that blocks dopamine in the brain. That single action lets it calm severe nausea and vomiting, stop hiccups that have lasted for days, and control the hallucinations and agitation of serious mental illness. This shelf holds chlorpromazine as tablets in several strengths, a syrup and an injection, all from local companies. It is a prescription medicine with marked side effects, so it is rarely the first thing tried.

Anti-Emetic, Phenothiazine sits under Nausea Vomiting & Vertigo.

Severe Nausea and Vomiting

Chlorpromazine is held back for vomiting that ordinary medicines have not controlled, such as sickness during cancer treatment, in advanced illness, or after strong pain medicines. It works on the part of the brain that triggers vomiting, and its sedation can help a distressed patient rest. For a stomach bug or vomiting in a child, ondansetron is the usual choice, found on Anti-Emetic, and fluids matter more than any tablet.

Hiccups That Will Not Stop

Most hiccups end within minutes, but some last for days and leave a person unable to eat or sleep. Chlorpromazine is one of the few medicines licensed for these persistent hiccups, given for a short spell. Hiccups lasting more than two days also need a search for their cause, which can include reflux, a chest or abdominal problem, kidney trouble or a medicine, so a doctor should examine the patient.

Schizophrenia, Mania and Severe Agitation

In psychiatry, chlorpromazine reduces hallucinations, fixed false beliefs and the overactivity of mania, and it calms severe agitation. Many patients now start on newer antipsychotics, yet chlorpromazine remains in use, particularly where its sedation is wanted. Treatment for these illnesses is long, and stopping suddenly can bring the symptoms back or cause sickness and sweating. Any change in the amount should be planned with the psychiatrist and the family.

Drowsiness and Dizziness on Standing

Sleepiness is common in the first weeks and is stronger with alcohol, sleeping tablets or antihistamines. Chlorpromazine also lowers blood pressure, so standing up quickly can bring dizziness or a faint. Sit on the edge of the bed for a minute before rising, especially at night, and avoid driving until you know how it affects you. After an injection, the patient should lie down for a while before walking.

Sunburn on Ordinary Days

Chlorpromazine makes the skin far more sensitive to sunlight, and a short walk at midday can leave a painful burn or rash. Long sleeves, a hat, shade and a high-factor sunscreen help, particularly for people who work outdoors or travel by open rickshaw. Over years of high doses, sun-exposed skin may turn a grey or purple tint, and deposits can form in the eyes, so long-term users need periodic eye checks.

Muscle Spasms, Tremor and Lip Movements

Because it blocks dopamine, chlorpromazine can cause sudden muscle spasms of the neck, jaw or eyes, a shuffling tremor like Parkinson’s disease, or an inner restlessness that makes sitting still hard. Young men are prone to the spasms, older people to the tremor. After long use, some develop chewing or lip-smacking movements, called tardive dyskinesia, that may not fade. Report any of these early so the doctor can adjust treatment.

Older People With Dementia

In older people with dementia, antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine raise the risk of stroke and death, and they are not a solution for confusion, wandering or restlessness at night. Causes such as pain, infection, constipation or a new medicine should be looked for first. If the medicine is truly needed for distressing hallucinations or aggression, a specialist uses the smallest amount for the shortest time and reviews it often.

Symptoms That Need a Doctor Quickly

• Fever and sore throat or mouth ulcers, which can signal a low white cell count.
• Yellow eyes or dark urine, a sign of liver trouble.
• High fever with rigid muscles and confusion, a rare emergency.
• Palpitations or fainting, which can mean a heart rhythm change.

Chlorpromazine Price in Bangladesh

Chlorpromazine tablets are among the lowest-cost medicines in the nausea and psychiatry groups, rising with strength; the syrup and the injection are priced per bottle and per ampoule.

Handling crushed chlorpromazine tablets day after day can give carers an itchy rash on the hands, so for someone who cannot swallow, the syrup on this shelf is the safer route. Prochlorperazine, a related phenothiazine used for vertigo and milder sickness, is on Anti Vertigo, Anti-Emetic.

Before You Order

• Ask for the syrup rather than crushing tablets for a patient.
• Cover up and use sunscreen before going out in daylight.
• Avoid alcohol and other drowsy medicines with it.
• Rise slowly from bed or a chair to avoid fainting.
• Never use it to quieten an older person with dementia without specialist review.
