The amount of chlorpromazine was measured in the breast milk of a lactating psychotic woman after 1200 mg. Cpz. was given in a single oral dose. The microgram amounts found were probably insignificant physiologically. Our study suggests that babies of mothers receiving large doses of chlorpromazine can be safely breast-fed.
