Fluanxol (active ingredient: flupenthixol) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses: Fluanxol is used to treat schizophrenia and other psychoses, helping to manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders.
  2. Depression in Combination with Anxiety: It is also indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe depression in combination with anxiety.

Fluanxol belongs to a class of drugs known as typical antipsychotics, which work by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain to help reduce psychotic symptoms and improve mood.

Fluanxol comes in the form of a tablet to be taken by mouth. However, follow your doctor’s instructions for how to use the medication, including the correct dosage, frequency, and duration of treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about how to use Fluanxol tablets, please speak with your doctor or healthcare provider.

The recommended starting dose of flupenthixol tablets is 1 mg 3 times a day. The doctor may increase this dose every 2 or 3 days depending on how you are doing. The usual maintenance dose is 3 mg to 6 mg daily, taken in divided doses.

Do not stop taking the tablet without talking to your doctor. If this medication is stopped suddenly, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, or loss of appetite. If you plan to stop the medication, your doctor may want you to reduce the dose gradually to reduce the severity of withdrawal effects.
