'''Chlorpromazine''', marketed in the US as '''Thorazine''', is a typical [[antipsychotic]] drug and was the first antipsychotic to be synthesized, circa December 1950. Despite the drug's age, it still holds a place in the modern treatment of psychosis, though it is now used less often than newer antipsychotics (such as quetiapine).
