Fluphenazine is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps to reduce hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Think of it as a reset button for overactive brain signals! 🧠 It comes in both oral and injectable forms, with the injectable form providing long-acting relief. It can help people with schizophrenia live more stable and functional lives. Like all antipsychotics, it requires careful monitoring by a doctor due to potential side effects.
