Thioridazine is an antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia. It belongs to a class of drugs known as phenothiazines, which work by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine. Thioridazine helps reduce hallucinations, delusions, and agitation in patients. This medication is usually prescribed when other treatments have not been effective. However, it may have side effects, including sedation, dry mouth, and potential heart-related issues. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness during treatment with Thioridazine.
