Stelazine (active ingredient: trifluoperazine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Schizophrenia: Stelazine is used for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults.
  2. Anxiety Disorders: It is also indicated for the short-term management of generalized anxiety disorder.

Stelazine belongs to a class of drugs known as typical antipsychotics (or neuroleptics), which work by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain to help reduce psychotic symptoms and alleviate anxiety.

Stelazine is an oral medication that comes in tablet form. It can be taken with or without food, usually once or twice daily or as directed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on weight. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to reduce the risk of side effects.

To get the most benefit from Stelazine, take the tablet regularly at the same time(s) each day. Although some effects may be noticeable soon after starting, it may take 2 to 3 weeks before the full benefit is achieved.

Do not stop taking the tablet without consulting your doctor, as some conditions may worsen if the drug is suddenly stopped. Additionally, sudden withdrawal may cause symptoms such as upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and shakiness. If you need to stop taking the medication, your doctor may reduce the dose gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

The initial dose for adults is typically 2-5 mg orally two times a day. The maintenance dose can range from 15-20mg/day, but the recommended dose is generally 1-2 mg orally two times a day. The dose may be adjusted based on the patient’s weight and the severity of their symptoms. The recommended starting dose for physically fit adults is 5mg twice a day, after which it may be increased to 15mg/day, if necessary.

Make sure to inform your healthcare provider of any side effects or concerns that may develop while using Stelazine or any other medication.
