            Black Box Warnings

            Patients with dementia-related psychosis who are treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death, as shown in short-term controlled trials; the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature

            This drug is not approved for treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis

            Contraindications

            Documented hypersensitivity to phenothiazines

            Coma, severe CNS depression, concurrent use of large amounts of CNS depressants, poorly controlled seizure disorder, subcortical brain damage

            Postoperative management of nausea/vomiting following pediatric surgery

            Children <2 years or weighing <9 kg

            Cautions

            Avoid using in children with suspected Reye syndrome

            Use caution in evere hypertension, severe cardiovascular disease

            Use with caution in glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, stenosing peptic ulcer disease, history of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, Parkinson disease, hypocalcemia, renal/hepatic impairment, history of severe reactions to insulin or electroconvulsive therapy, history of seizures, asthma, respiratory tract infections, cardiovascular disease, myelosuppression

            Blood dyscrasias including neutropenia, agranulocytosis, and leukopenia reported with use; discontinue therapy at first sign of blood dyscrasias

            Risk of extrapyramidal symptoms, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, hypotension (may be particularly severe in patients with pheochromocytoma or mitral insufficiency)

            Esophageal dysmotility/aspiration may occur; use with caution in patients at risk of pneumonia

            Depresses hypothalamic thermoregulatory mechanism; exposure to extreme temperatures may cause hypo- or hyperthermia

            May alter cardiac conduction; life-threatening arrhythmias reported with therapeutic doses

            May cause anticholinergic effects (constipation, xerostomia, urinary retention, blurred vision); use caution in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, paralytic ileus, urinary retention, BPH, xerostomia, visual problems

            May cause pigmentary retinopathy and lenticular and corneal deposits, especially in prolonged therapy

            May cause sedation and impair ability to perform tasks which require mental alertness, including operating heavy machinery

            Use associated with increased prolactin levels

            In case of severe hypotension, use norepinephrine or phenylepinephrine; do not use epinephrine or dopamine

            Do not crush extended-release product

            Avoid SC administration (may cause irritation)

            Antiemetic effect may obscure toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs

            Use may be associated with neuroleptic malignant syndrome; monitor muscle rigidity, mental status changes, fever, autonomic instability

            May need anticholinergic antiparkinsonian agent to counter extrapyramidal symptoms

            May impair core body temperature regulation
