PHENOTHIAZINE TRANQUILIZERS AS A CAUSE OF SEVERE SEIZURES

Abstract

The phenothiazine tranquilizer drugs should not be used indiscriminately for symptomatic treatment without due appreciation of the alarming and potentially serious side effects which may follow relatively small doses, especially in childhood. Minimal dosage, due warning to parents of possible symptoms, and careful observation are essential precautions for physicians who use these agents.
