SummaryThis second of two articles on the ‘typical’ (‘first-generation’) antipsychotics covers non-phenothiazines: thioxanthenes (flupentixol and zuclopenthixol), butyrophenones/diphenylbutylpiperidines (including one-time world market-leader haloperidol, and pimozide) and sulpiride, for many years the only substituted benzamide available in the UK. Several tolerability issues ascribed specifically or more frequently to older antipsychotics are also discussed.
