Pharmacology
Perphenazine is a piperazinyl phenothiazine, acts on the central nervous system, and has a greater behavioral potency than other phenothiazine derivatives whose side chains do not contain a piperazine moiety. It is a member of a class of drugs called phenothiazines, which are dopamine D1/D2 receptor antagonists. Perphenazine is 10 to 15 times as potent as chlorpromazine; that means perphenazine is a highly potent antipsychotic. In equivalent doses it has approximately the same frequency and severity of early and late extrapypramidal side-effects compared to Haloperidol.

Patient Information
This information is intended to aid in the safe and effective use of this medication. It is not a disclosure of
all possible adverse or intended effects.
Given the likelihood that a substantial proportion of patients exposed chronically to neuroleptics will develop
tardive dyskinesia, it is advised that all patients in whom chronic use is contemplated be given, if possible, full
information about this risk. The decision to inform patients and/or their guardians must obviously take into account
the clinical circumstances and the competency of the patient to understand the information provided.
