Abstract
Two patients, proved to be myxoedematous, developed hypo-thermic coma within a short time of being given chlorpromazine. The clinical course suggests that this state was precipitated by the drug. The case histories are detailed and attention is drawn to the dangers of chlorpromazine administration in hypothyroid subjects.Keywords
