Carphenazine Maleate
This is the maleate salt form of carphenazine, an older typical antipsychotic of the phenothiazine class. It was used to manage symptoms of psychosis but has been largely superseded by newer antipsychotic medications. Like other phenothiazines, it carries risks of extrapyramidal side effects and tardive dyskinesia.
