Yemetil 100 Tab belongs to a group of medications called ‘antipsychotics’. It is used in the treatment of schizophrenia or psychosis and bipolar disorder (manic depression). Besides this, it is also used to treat nausea and vomiting, anxiety before surgery, chronic hiccups (involuntary spasms of the diaphragm). Schizophrenia is characterized by hallucinations symptoms (seeing or hearing things that are not real) and delusions (wrong beliefs). Manic episodes of excitement or depression characterize bipolar disorder. Yemetil 100 Tab prevents the occurrence of these symptoms. 

Yemetil 100 Tab contains ‘Chlorpromazine’ which is an antipsychotic drug. It acts by blocking dopamine, a neurotransmitter present in the brain responsible for developing schizophrenia and bipolar disorder symptoms. Yemetil 100 Tab  rebalances dopamine to improve thinking, mood and behaviour. It also blocks the other natural substances receptors in the brain, such as histamine and muscarinic receptors, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.
