Adverse Interaction Between Cimetidine and Chlorpromazine in Two Cases of Chronic Schizophrenia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
The treatment of two chlorpromazine-medicated chronic schizophrenics with cimetidine resulted in excessive sedation, which necessitated a reduction in chlorpromazine dosage. Eventual discontinuation of cimetidine therapy led to a return of schizophrenic symptoms, which responded to an increase in chlorpromazine dosage to previous levels.
