Acetophenazine

Acetophenazine is a typical antipsychotic from the group of phenothiazines, primarily acting through dopamine-D2-receptor antagonism. It is used for the treatment of psychoses and can cause sedative effects as well as anticholinergic side effects. The risk for extrapyramidal symptoms is moderate, which necessitates careful monitoring.
