Note |
Sparine allows senily patients to grow old without growing troublesome. Many patients become confused, agitated and difficult to manage as they grow older. They often become uno-operative and aggressive towards those who wish to care for them and place a considerable extra burden on nursing staff. Sparine (promazine hydrochloride) reduces agitation without causing over-sedation and helps to make them more co-operative, alert and active. Sparine calms and controls elderly, agitated patients. |
