Flupentixol is an antipsychotic medication mainly used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It works by balancing certain chemicals in the brain, helping to reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking. It may also be used in low doses to treat moderate depression.
Flupentixol is administered orally as tablets or as long-acting injections, as directed by your doctor. The dose and frequency are determined individually, depending on the patient's condition and response to treatment.
Side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, weight gain, muscle stiffness, or tremor. Rarely, more serious reactions such as heart rhythm disturbances or severe allergic reactions may occur. If you experience unusual movements or difficulty breathing, contact your doctor immediately.
Flupentixol is effective in controlling psychotic symptoms, but requires regular medical monitoring to prevent complications and ensure treatment safety.
