Fluphenazine Decanoate

Used For

Schizophrenia

How it works

Fluphenazine decanoate is an ester of the potent neuroleptic fluphenazine, a phenothiazine derivative of the piperazine type. The ester is slowly absorbed from the intramuscular site of injection and is then hydrolysed in the plasma to the active therapeutic agent, fluphenazine. Extrapyramidal reactions are not uncommon, but fluphenazine does not have marked sedative or hypotensive properties.

Since patients treated with antipsychotics often present with acquired risk factors for VTE, all possible risk factors for VTE should be identified before and during treatment with fluphenazine and preventative measures undertaken.

Warning 2

Psychotic patients on large doses of phenothiazines who are undergoing surgery should be watched carefully for hypotension. Reduced amounts of anaesthetics or central nervous system depressants may be necessary.
