Mellaril Thioridazine

Mellaril thioridazine has been associated to sudden death and torsade de pointes-type arrhythmias. A schizophrenic drug, Mellaril thioridazine was restricted to the last drug treatment due to the dangerous effects. Patients that did not first respond to alternate schizophrenic treatments were then considered for Mellaril thioridazine if the physician felt the risk of using Mellaril thioridazine was offset by the benefits it might provide.

The Mellaril thioridazine manufacturer had issued an Important Drug Warning to alert clinicians of Mellaril thioridazine deadly and serious effects. A Mellaril thioridazine boxed warning was added to the drug as well. If considered for Mellaril thioridazine, the patients are to have certain testing performed in order to reduce risk of suffering adverse effects. If prescribed Mellaril thioridazine as a last resort, patients should make sure the physician is adequately monitoring to detect arrhythmias and other cardiovascular monitoring.
