Description
DEPIXOL DEPOT 20MGS/1ML is a long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication, with each 1ml ampoule containing 20mg of cis(Z)-Flupentixol decanoate. Manufactured by Lundbeck, this “depot” injection is designed to slowly release the active ingredient into the body over several weeks, providing sustained therapeutic effects. Available at specialized pharmacies and hospitals in Thika, this prescription-only medication is primarily used for the management and prevention of relapse in schizophrenia and other allied paranoid psychoses. It works by correcting chemical imbalances in the brain, particularly related to dopamine, thereby helping to control symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking. Administered via deep intramuscular injection, Depixol Depot offers a convenient and effective treatment option for patients requiring consistent antipsychotic medication.
