Zuclopenthixol is an antipsychotic drug primarily used to treat schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. It is a neuroblocking agent among antipsychotics and works by affecting the balance of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin in the brain. Zuclopenthixol reduces hallucinations, delusions and other symptoms and helps improve patients' mood and behavioral problems. When using this drug, patients should strictly follow the doctor's recommendations and prescriptions, and should not adjust the dosage or stop using it on their own. At the same time, patients should receive regular follow-up examinations from doctors during use to ensure the efficacy and safety of the drug. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, seek help from your doctor immediately.
How to use: ZUCLOPENTHIXOL is an antipsychotic drug that is usually taken in oral form. It is recommended to take it at a fixed time every day, with food or on an empty stomach. You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking this drug and avoid participating in activities that require high alertness, such as driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 10 mg to 20 mg daily, divided into 2 to 3 divided doses. Depending on the severity of the condition and individual tolerance, the physician may gradually adjust the dosage. In children, the dose needs to be adjusted based on age and weight, and the starting dose is usually lower. It is recommended to adjust the dosage under the guidance of a physician and not to increase or decrease the dosage on your own to avoid adverse reactions. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
Zuclopenthixol is an antipsychotic drug with common side effects including drowsiness, dry mouth, weight gain, and muscle stiffness.
