Pipotiazine

Pipotiazine (Piportil), also known as pipothiazine, is a typical antipsychotic of the phenothiazine class[1] used in the United Kingdom and other countries for the treatment of schizophrenia.[2] Its properties are similar to those of chlorpromazine. A 2004 systematic review investigated its efficacy for people with schizophrenia:

Pipotiazine palmitate compared to oral antipsychotics for schizophrenia[3]
Summary
Although well-conducted and reported randomized trials are still needed to fully inform practice (no trial data exists reporting hospital and services outcomes, quality of life, satisfaction with care and economics) pipotiazine palmitate is a viable choice for both clinician and person with schizophrenia.[3]
