Thioridazine Hydrochloride is a phenothiazine derivative used primarily as an antipsychotic agent in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It modulates the effects of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin in the brain to manage symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, and emotional withdrawal. It has also been investigated for treating severe behavioral disturbances in children, though this application is uncommon and restricted. Occasionally, it may be used for anxiety or agitation unresponsive to other therapies. As a pharmaceutical chemical, its use requires strict medical supervision due to risks of serious side effects, including cardiac arrhythmias.
