Depixol 40mg in 2ml ampoules

What is Depixol 40mg/2ml Injection? Depixol 40mg in 2ml ampoules contains Flupentixol decanoate, a typical antipsychotic medication belonging to the thioxanthene class. It is formulated as a sterile, oily depot injection, designed for slow release into the body over several weeks. What is it used for? This medication is primarily indicated for the maintenance treatment of schizophrenia and other allied psychoses. It is particularly beneficial for patients who have been stabilized on antipsychotic medication but require a long-term solution to prevent relapse and ensure consistent delivery of medicine without the need for daily oral tablets. How Depixol Injection Works As a depot injection, Depixol is administered into the muscle, where it forms a reservoir. The medicine is then gradually released into the bloodstream. This helps in managing symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders over a sustained period. Administration and Dosage Depixol must be administered exclusively by a healthcare professional via deep intramuscular (IM) injection, usually into the gluteal muscle (buttocks).

The typical maintenance dose ranges from 20mg to 40mg every 2 to 4 weeks. Your doctor will determine the exact dose and frequency based on your individual response to the treatment. It is not intended for the treatment of acute emergency situations.
