   Phenothiazine derivatives are antipsychotic drugs such as haloperidol (Halcyon) or chlorpromazine used in the treatment of disorders such as schizophrenia. You should remember that the most troubling side effect of these drugs is the production of tardive dyskinesia and the parkinsonian-like extrapyramidal disorders. As a rule these drugs have anticholinergic and anti-alpha-adrenergic side effects, which would eliminate xerostomia, and postural hypotension (due to an anti-adrenergic depressant effect on both vasomotor centers and the autonomic nervous system) as possible answers. Jaundice is a less frequent side effect than the extrapyramidal symptoms, and often results from an allergic reaction to these drugs.
