 * No need for a reprint. That is a very subjective story indeed. JFW | T@lk  22:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Subjective to whom, you? We know of your opinion. It doesnt look good. Alphaquad 13:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Seizure Causing Poison
This is attributable to a reliable published source and is therefore necessary to include for the safety hospital patients.

 * Please do not insert copies of potentially copyrighted material in Wikipedia. See WP:CV.
 * I don't disagree with the statement from that document of "Numerous case reports of severe adverse effects including acute dystonias, akathisia, tardivedyskinesia, NMS". Please find a suitable primary source. JFW | T@lk  14:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Have you read the page as it presently stands? It includes seizures and the extrapyramidal side-effects. Not that I've ever seen a case in my career; UK general practitioners use Stemetil a lot. JFW | T@lk  14:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * At least you left the links, thank you for that. I have perhaps had some meager positive impact. It's too bad most people wont look here but good for the industry lunatics.

 * I don't need to be lectured on fair use, but I dispute that this particular edit constitutes fair use. Is there anything wrong with just an URL? Given that this is a talk page, not encyclopedia content? JFW | T@lk  22:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, phenothiazines may cause some very nasty side effects. As JFW said, this is already in the article. What's your point? Fvasconcellos 14:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Side effects? I think you mean permanent neurological damage. Alphaquad 00:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Permanent? JFW | T@lk  22:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

IUPAC name / structure
As the name refers to the maleate salt, should the structure have that drawn in too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.220.229 (talk • contribs) 17:51, 16 June 2007
 * Actually, I've changed the IUPAC name, which is probably best since the rest of the information referred to the free base. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Side effects
I was treated with (I think) this drug for the symptoms of viral labyrinthitis a few months ago, and suffered side effects not currently mentioned such as extreme restlessness and insomnia. Apparently these are not uncommon - should they be mentioned in the article? mentions this briefly. Brilliantine (talk) 15:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced material
Under INDICATIONS - at the end of the first paragraph is this sentence: "Stemetil is no longer being manufactured for sale in Canada."

What does that have to do with indications - or anything for that matter?

I suggest it be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.162.152.108 (talk) 22:26, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Novamin redirection should be replaced by a disambiguation page
NOVAMIN is also Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate - and trademarked by GlaxoSmithKline (also see http://www.dentist.net/amorphous-calcium-phosphate2.asp. )

NovaminE (with an "e" at the end) can refer to "Novamine® 15% Amino Acids Injection" see: http://www.drugs.com/pro/novamine.html,

Novamin (with no "e" at the end) can refer to "an aminoglycoside antibiotic " see: http://pharmacycode.com/Novamin.html

Amikacin is reported as an ingredient of Novamin in Brazil, Prochlorperazine is reported as an ingredient of Novamin in Japan see: http://www.drugs.com/international/novamin.html

The redirection should be undone and replaced with a disambiguation page.

"Direct blood reactant"
I deleted the sentence, "This medicine is a direct blood reactant and can cause severe circulatory damage when used as an i.v. push drug in emergency rooms." because a) the phrase "direct blood reactant" appears exactly 0 times in a search of PubMed, and appears in a Google search only in the context of quotes from this Wikipedia article and b) I can't find any studies supporting any permutation of "severe circulatory damage" as an adverse effect.

Another brand name?
In Australia, prochloperazine maleate is sold under the tradename of Nausetil. May I add this to the list of names? 58.165.216.125 (talk) 07:30, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
