Abstract
Priapism is a rare but serious adverse effect of psychotropic drugs resulting from their peripheral alpha-adrenoreceptor blocking action. Two patients developed this during treatment with oral phenothiazines: one was treated surgically with a venous shunt, and the second case resolved after intracavernosal injection of an alpha-adrenoreceptor stimulating drug.
