What is the brand name of chlorpromazine in India?
Chlorpromazine is sold in India under the brand name Thorazine in some markets. In India, it may also appear under other local brand names depending on the manufacturer and availability.
How to confirm the exact brand on your strip or prescription?
To avoid confusion between brands, check the label for the generic name:
- Chlorpromazine hydrochloride (HCl)
If you share the brand name written on the pack (or a photo of the label text), I can tell you whether it matches chlorpromazine.
What strength forms are commonly seen?
In India, chlorpromazine is typically available as tablets and may also be available in other dosage forms (such as injections), with multiple strengths depending on the manufacturer.
If you’re switching brands, is it the same medicine?
Brands can differ, but if the pack says chlorpromazine hydrochloride (the same strength), it is the same active drug. Different brands may still vary in excipients, but dosing is based on the chlorpromazine amount.
