Description
DEPIXOL DEPOT 40MGS/2MLS INJECTION 10`S is a long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication, provided as a pack containing 10 ampoules, with each 2ml ampoule delivering 40mg of cis(Z)-Flupentixol decanoate. Manufactured by Lundbeck, this “depot” formulation ensures a slow and sustained release of the active ingredient, offering therapeutic effects that last for several weeks after a single injection. Available at specialized pharmacies and hospitals in Thika, this prescription-only medication is primarily indicated for the maintenance treatment of chronic schizophrenia and other allied paranoid psychoses. It functions by normalizing brain chemistry, specifically by blocking dopamine receptors, which helps to manage and prevent the recurrence of severe symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. Administered via deep intramuscular injection, DEPIXOL DEPOT 40MGS/2MLS provides a crucial and convenient treatment option, particularly benefiting patients who require consistent medication levels over extended periods.
