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.

Hope this answer your question partly
