Question
The girl has been experiencing frequent blinking and involuntary mouth opening for nearly two weeks. She previously had blinking issues, diagnosed as myopia and conjunctivitis, which were temporarily resolved with medication and training devices. However, the blinking problem has recurred recently, and using Tobrax eye drops has not improved the situation. When asked about the reason for her mouth opening, the girl said she felt itchy inside her mouth. The stomatological examination showed no abnormalities, and a neurologist suspected tic disorders, prescribing ‘Thioridazine Hydrochloride Tablets’ for treatment.
Answer
Thioridazine Hydrochloride Tablets can be used to treat children aged 7 to 12 with mental motor instability or tic-phrases syndrome. The average dosage is half a tablet taken once or twice daily. The dose can be gradually increased until symptoms are controlled, after which the medication can be adjusted every 2 to 3 months.
