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.
