In-vivo cytogenetic effects of perphenazine and chlorpromazine: a negative study

Br Med J. 1972 Jul 1;3(5817):21-3. doi: 10.1136/bmj.3.5817.21.

Abstract

No evidence was found that either perphenazine or chlorpromazine induced chromosomal damage in patients given the drugs. These results were reached independently at two separate laboratories; earlier reports of possible adverse cytogenetic effects of these drugs can probably be discounted.
