Chlorpromazine – induced jaundice
07:59:00 pm, Categories: Antipsychotics Jaundice has been noted to occur in 0.1%-0.5% of patients taking chlorpromazine. This usually occurs within the first month after the initiation of treatment and generally requires discontinuation of treatment. Given the relative infrequency of antipsychotic-induced jaundice, other etiologies for jaundice should be evaluated before the cause is judged to be the antipsychotic medication.
