What not everyone knows is that loxapine is a member of the
dibenzoxazepine class of medication, and it is structurally related to clozapine, which belongs to a class of medication known as dibenzodiazepines --a class that is extraordinarily similar to
dibenzoxazepine.

dibenzoxazepine that has a molecular structure similar to clozapine.
They can be made with a variety of ingredients: pepper spray, which is made from the chemical capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot chilis; CR gas, also known as
dibenzoxazepine; or phenacyl chloride, also known as Mace.
The antipsychotic potency of phenothiazines, thioxanthenes, butyrophenones, and
dibenzoxazepines generally parallels their potency in increasing PRL levels.
