chlorpromazine and Pseudotumor Cerebri

chlorpromazine has been researched along with Pseudotumor Cerebri in 1 studies

Chlorpromazine: The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.
chlorpromazine : A substituted phenothiazine in which the ring nitrogen at position 10 is attached to C-3 of an N,N-dimethylpropanamine moiety.

Pseudotumor Cerebri: A condition marked by raised intracranial pressure and characterized clinically by HEADACHES; NAUSEA; PAPILLEDEMA, peripheral constriction of the visual fields, transient visual obscurations, and pulsatile TINNITUS. OBESITY is frequently associated with this condition, which primarily affects women between 20 and 44 years of age. Chronic PAPILLEDEMA may lead to optic nerve injury (see OPTIC NERVE DISEASES) and visual loss (see BLINDNESS).

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of antihypertensive drugs, such as nifedipine, chlorpromazine, reserpine and thiopental on mean arterial blood pressure (ABP), mean intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) were studied in 43 patients with systemic hypertension and intracranial hypertension due to hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases and other causes."3.68Effects of antihypertensive drugs on intracranial hypertension.
