Pipamperone
Pipamperone (INN, USAN, BAN), also known as pipamperon, is a typical antipsychotic and sedative that has been used in the treatment of schizophrenia and as a sleep aid. It is not commonly used in the United States or Canada, but is used in various countries worldwide, including Europe and South Africa.
