Loxapine as an alternative to phenothiazines in a case of oculocutaneous skin pigmentation

DG Ewing and TR Einarson

The authors describe a patient with changes in oculocutaneous pigmentation that cleared after chlorpromazine was discontinued. They suggest that loxapine may be a suitable alternative to phenothiazines when skin pigmentation and ocular involvement occur, although the patient must be carefully monitored for ocular problems.
