Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/PIL.5400.latest.pdf | http://www.lundbeck.com/upload/au/files/pdf/Fluanxol_CMI.pdf

Flupenthixol is a thioxanthene antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychoses, with the exception of mania and psychomotor hyperactivity due to an activating effect associated with this drug. It may also be employed as an antidepressant. Flupenthixol has a wide range of pharmacological actions. Flupenthixol blocks dopaminergic receptors, thus interfering with dopaminergic transmission in the brain. Flupenthixol also inhibits serotonin 5-HT, histamine H1, muscarinic and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors.

Sample Use Guides

Fluanxol® (flupentixol) 0.5 mg and 1 mg film-coated tablets. The starting dose is usually 1 mg daily taken as a single dose in the morning. This may be increased to 2 mg per day after one week. The maximum daily dose is 3 mg per day. Fluanxol® (flupenthixol decanoate) Depot 20 mg/mL, Concentrated Depot 100 mg/mL. Generally, the starting dose is 20 to 40 mg (1 to 2 mL). A second dose of 20 to 40 mg (1 to 2 mL) is usually given 4-10 days after the first injection, and further doses are given every 2 to 4 weeks for the majority of patients.
