Depixol, known generically as flupentixol, is a type of medication classified under the typical antipsychotics. It is primarily used in the treatment and management of schizophrenia and other disorders characterized by symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and disturbed thinking. Depixol works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps to normalize the neurotransmitter levels and reduce psychotic symptoms. It is available in various forms, including tablets and a depot injection, the latter of which allows for the slow release of the medication over a period of time, making it convenient for patients requiring long-term management. Like all medications, Depixol can have side effects, and its use should be closely monitored by a healthcare professional.
