chlorpromazine and Weight Gain

chlorpromazine has been researched along with Weight Gain in 15 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.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

"In order to examine potential ovarian toxicity in 2 weeks or 4 weeks repeated-dose studies and a fertility study, chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ) was administered orally to Crl:CD(SD) female rats at dosage levels of 0, 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg/day."1.35Collaborative work on evaluation of ovarian toxicity. 16) Effects of 2 or 4 weeks repeated dose studies and fertility study of Chlorpromazine hydrochloride in rats.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale

Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score. Construct: Depression severity. Scores below represent mean change scores, endpoint minus baseline. Minimum total score: 0 (no depression). Maximum total score: 60 (severe depression). Lower (more negative) scores indicate a better outcome. There are no subscales. (NCT00384332)
Timeframe: 10 weeks
