Do they still prescribe Mellaril?
Are you aware that Mellaril, also known as thioridazine, is a medication that was once commonly prescribed for mental health conditions such as schizophrenia? However, its use has been significantly restricted due to safety concerns, including the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. I'm curious, do healthcare professionals still prescribe Mellaril in some cases, or has it largely been replaced by safer and more effective alternatives? Additionally, what factors might influence the decision to prescribe Mellaril, if it is still being used?
