Thorazine advertisement, 1956. Psychosomatic Medicine, Vol. 18, No. 2. in many gastrointestinal disorders THORAZINE* "would appear to be... tranquilizing agent of choice..." in many gastrointestinal disorders... functional as well as secondary to organic disease such as spastic colon, peptic ulcer and a variety of other conditions marked by pain and vomiting, 'Thorazine' has 3 advantages: 1. 'Thorazine' abolishes the emotional turbulence -- fear, excitation, anxiety, tension -- that adversely affects digestion and the digestive tract. 2. 'Thorazine' effectively controls the nausea and vomiting of gastrointestinal disorders. 3. 'Thorazine' has a mild atropine-like, inhibitory effect on gastric secretion and "would appear to be... tranquilizing agent of choice when stimulation of gastric secretion is contraindicated." 'Thorazine' should be administered discriminately; and, before prescribing, the physician should be fully conversant with the available literature. 'Thorazine' is available as the hydrochloride in ampuls, tablets and syrup; and as the base in suppositories. *T.M. Reg. U.S. Pat.
