Main Uses:
Flupentixol is used for the long-term treatment of schizophrenia, a mental illness characterized by disturbances in thinking, emotional reactions, and behavior.
It is also employed in low doses as an antidepressant1.
Mechanism of Action:
Flupentixol acts by correcting chemical imbalances in the brain, which may contribute to mental illness.
It helps restore the balance of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, in the brain1.
Administration:
Flupentixol is available as a long-acting injection (also known as a “depot” injection).
Depot injections are given once symptoms have been eased by taking tablets.
The long-acting formulation ensures consistent medication levels over an extended period2.
