Extract

The value of phenothiazine derivatives in psychiatric practice is well established, but in spite of their undoubted usefulness in certain psychiatric disorders none has proved entirely acceptable. The introduction of a new derivative that is reported to be less toxic than earlier phenothiazine derivatives and highly active in small doses merits investigation and trial.
