    AbstractLevomepromazine (previously known as methotrimeprazine) has a broad range of beneficial effects in the terminal phase of many illnesses, resulting from its combined antipsychotic, anxiolytic and sedative actions. Levomepromazine can safely be administered in a continuous subcutaneous infusion with most other commonly used drugs in palliative care.
