Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: very high or very low blood pressure, heart disease, liver disease (especially reduced cytochrome P450 enzymes), irregular heartbeat, Reye's syndrome, alcohol or drug dependencies, nervous system problems, blood disorders, allergies (especially any drug allergies). Use caution performing tasks that require alertness such as driving or operating machinery. Use of alcohol can cause extreme drowsiness. Avoid alcohol use. MELLARIL may increase sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear a sunscreen and protective clothing when you are exposed to the sun. MELLARIL can reduce sweating making you more susceptible to heat stroke. Avoid strenuous work or exercise in hot weather. Elderly patients are more sensitive to the effects of this drug. Use cautiously. Children should be monitored closely while using MELLARIL. MELLARIL should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Certain phenothiazines are known to be excreted into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
