A member asked:
Pt. has chronic hiccups. given thorazine (chlorpromazine) injection. why? thorazine if effective lasted only about an hour and hiccups returned. explanations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlorpromazine : Thorazine is a commonly accepted treatment for intractable hiccups. It's unfortunate that the effect lasted for so little time, as this medication has a significant half life and should have remained active for some time. Here's an overview of Thorazine - Hope it helps! http://reference.medscape.com/drug/chlorpromazine-342970
