	Bromperidol is a ~~typical antipsychotic primarily used to treat~~ [[~~schizophrenia~~]]. It is ~~also~~ used in the ~~treatment~~ of ~~mania~~ and ~~delirium~~. It ~~works by blocking the action~~ of ~~[[dopamine]]~~, ~~a neurotransmitter~~ in ~~the brain that affects thoughts and mood~~.		Bromperidol acts as a potent [[dopamine receptor antagonist]], particularly at the [[D2 receptor\|dopamine D2 receptors]]. This action is thought to be responsible for its antipsychotic effects. By blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, bromperidol helps to reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders.

			==Clinical Use==
			Bromperidol is used in the management of schizophrenia and other conditions characterized by psychosis. It is effective in reducing both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The medication is typically administered orally, but it can also be given via injection in certain clinical settings.

	==Side Effects==		==Side Effects==
	Like other antipsychotics, ~~Bromperidol~~ can cause a range of side effects. ~~These can~~ include [[~~drowsiness~~]], [[~~dizziness~~]], [[~~dry mouth~~]], [[~~constipation~~]], [[~~blurred vision~~]], ~~and~~ [[~~weight gain~~]]~~.

Like other typical antipsychotics, bromperidol can cause a range of side effects. Common side effects include [[extrapyramidal symptoms]] such as [[tremor]], [[rigidity]], and [[bradykinesia]]. Long-term use may lead to [[tardive dyskinesia]], a condition characterized by involuntary, repetitive body movements. Other potential side effects include [[sedation]], [[weight gain]], and [[anticholinergic effects]] such as dry mouth and constipation.
