Chlorprothixene
A thioxanthene-class typical antipsychotic that blocks dopamine, histamine, adrenergic, and muscarinic receptors, used to treat schizophrenia and acute psychosis. It has marked sedative properties that can also be utilized for agitation and anxiety in certain settings. Extrapyramidal side effects and tardive dyskinesia are risks with long-term use.
