Phenothiazine’s

names:

- All Phenothiazine medications end in “zine”.
- Prochlorperazine
- Cholorpromazine
- Thioridazine
- Fluphenazine
- Action:
- All Phenothiazine medication do not cure the psychotic disorder, they just
reduce the symptoms.
- In large doses they are antipsychotics
- “We use zine’s for the zainy (insane)”
- In small doses they are antiemetic’s
- Phenothiazine’s are major tranquilizers.
- “Aminoglycosides are to antibiotics” as “Phenothiazine’s are to
tranquilizers”
- Meaning: when no other tranquilizers are working the Phenothiazine’s are
used to get the job done.

, - Side effects of Phenothiazine’s:
- Phenothiazine’s have a long list of major side effects:
- Anticholinergic effects (primarily dry mouth)
- Blurred vision
- Constipation
- Drowsiness
- EPS (Extrapyramidal syndrome): drug induced Parkinson’s
- Photosensitivity
- Agranulocytosis (low WBC count): immunosuppressed
- Nursing Care:
- The nursing care is focused on treating the side effects of Phenothiazine’s
- Since patients on these medications have blurred vision, drowsiness, and
EPS, the number one concern is risk for injury.
- Cogentin and Artane are given to reduce EPS effects
- Decanoate:
- Typically abbreviated with the letter “D”
- Thioridazine “D”
- If the “D” comes after the name of the medication it means it is a long-acting
medication. Meaning it is given once IM and its actions last for weeks or
months at a time.
- This is for noncompliant patients.
