Hi

Both Chloropromazine (CPZ) and Risperidone (R) are antipsychotics.

CPZ is older one R is a newer one

These drugs are primarily prescribed in conditions like Schizophrenia, Psychosis. But, can also be used in Psychotic depression, delirium, dementia with BPSD, borderline personality disorder etc.
