Extract

Chlorpromazine (“Largactil”) was introduced to this country some five years ago, and since that time a considerable number of reports on its clinical efficacy have appeared, including Anton-Stephens (1954) and Garmany et al. (1954). There is now general agreement that it is a useful form of treatment in chronic schizophrenia, especially for the aggressive, disturbed patient (Salisbury and Hare, 1957). More recently another phenothiazine derivative, incorporating a piperazine ring in the side chain, has been produced.
