The study used two existing drugs: the antipsychotic chlorpromazine and the sedative promethazine, called “C+P” when they’re used together. This drug combo induced hypothermia and protected brain tissue in mouse and monkey [...] The post Drug-induced ‘brain freeze’ may help protect the brain after a stroke, early study suggests appeared first on
