A Summary of Thorazine Side Effects
It is possible that you may experience some or none of these Thorazine side effects explained above. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried.

While it may not be a side effect of Thorazine, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
