Abstract
The case of a [chronic schizophrenic] patient with changes in oculocutaneous pigmentation that cleared after chlorpromazine was discontinued is described. Loxapine may be a suitable alternative to phenothiazines when the skin pigmentation and ocular involvement occur, although the patient must be carefully monitored for ocular problems.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
