Thorazine
Chlorpromazine: Trade Name: Thorazine
Chlorpromazine was originally developed to ease anxiety associated with patients before surgery. Henry Laborit, a heart surgeon, was experimenting with phenothiazines to inhibit the autonomic nervous system in his surgery patients. He was looking for something to solve the problem of shock to the human body caused by surgery. Also he wanted to relieve muscle tension in patients, which would make it easier to operate on them. What Laborit needed was a drug that would act on the central nervous system.
