Four deaths associated and presumably linked with the administration of chlorpromazine is presented. Although the phenothiazines, which have so changed the outlook for psychiatric patients, can usually be administered with only the occurrence of minor side effects, we must always be alert to the possibility of serious side effects. Early recognition and proper treatment should materially reduce. the mortality.
