Exposure of Medical and Nursing Personnel to Phenothiazines

Medical and nursing personnel who inject these phenothiazine drugs or who handle phenothiazine tablets which are given to patients, and those who come into contact with the compounds in the pharmaceutical industry readily acquire allergic eczematous contact dermatitis of the hands from such exposure the dermatitis may flare when a phenothiazine antihistamine is given (Calnan et al. 1962). Since chlorpromazine, in particular, is excreted almost unchanged in the urine, sensitized nurses and orderlies who handle unwashed linen may experience flares.
