The Use of ThorazineR (Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride) as an Aid to Analgesia and Amnesia During Labor and Delivery

With the present day practice of obstetrics, almost all women are given drugs of one type or another to relieve the pain of labor. Various medications, such as morphine, DemerolR, scopolomine, paraldehyde, and the barbiturates, have been employed alone or in combination. Because of the depressant properties of these drugs, they cannot be used without due consideration of these effects. Thus the search continues for more efficient agents to relieve the pains of labor and still provide absolute safety for the infant and mother.
