Levomepromazine, also known as methotrimeprazine, is a phenothiazine neuroleptic drug. Brand names include Nozinan, Levoprome, Detenler, Hirnamin, Levotomin and Neurocil. It is a low-potency antipsychotic (approximately half as potent as chlorpromazine) with strong analgesic, hypnotic and antiemetic properties that are primarily used in palliative care.
Levomepromazine is also used at lower doses for the treatment of nausea and insomnia. A 2010 systematic review compared the efficacy of levomepromazine with atypical antipsychotic drugs:
