Extract

Thioproperazine (‘Majeptil’) is a recently introduced phenothiazine derivative which readily produces extra-pyramidal disturbances. Its pharmacology was originally described by Courvoisier et al. (1958) and its clinical properties by a number of workers including, in this country, Denham and Carrick (1961). Several investigators have reported impressive results with this drug in a variety of mentally ill patients, including chronic schizophrenics who had failed to respond to other forms of therapy.
