Fluphenazine, sold under the brand name Prolixin among others, is a high-potency typical antipsychotic medication.[2] It is used in the treatment of chronic psychoses such as schizophrenia,[2][3] and appears to be about equal in effectiveness to low-potency antipsychotics like chlorpromazine.[4] It is given by mouth, injection into a muscle, or just under the skin.[2] There is also a long acting injectable version that may last for up to four weeks.[2] Fluphenazine decanoate, the depot injection form of fluphenazine, should not be used by people with severe depression.[5]

Common side effects include movement problems, sleepiness, depression and increased weight.[2] Serious side effects may include neuroleptic malignant syndrome, low white blood cell levels, and the potentially permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia.[2] In older people with psychosis as a result of dementia it may increase the risk of dying.[2] It may also increase prolactin levels which may result in milk production, enlarged breasts in males, impotence, and the absence of menstrual periods.[2] It is unclear if it is safe for use in pregnancy.[2]

Fluphenazine is a typical antipsychotic of the phenothiazine class.[2] Its mechanism of action is not entirely clear but believed to be related to its ability to block dopamine receptors.[2] In up to 40% of those on long term phenothiazines, liver function tests become mildly abnormal.[6]

Fluphenazine came into use in 1959.[7] The injectable form is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[8] It is available as a generic medication.[2] It was discontinued in Australia in 2017.[9]

Medical use

[edit]

A 2018 Cochrane review found that fluphenazine was an imperfect treatment and other inexpensive drugs less associated with side effects may be an equally effective choice for people with schizophrenia.[10]

Side effects

[edit]

Discontinuation

[edit]

The British National Formulary recommends a gradual withdrawal when discontinuing antipsychotics to avoid acute withdrawal syndrome or rapid relapse.[11] Symptoms of withdrawal commonly include nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.[12] Other symptoms may include restlessness, increased sweating, and trouble sleeping.[12] Less commonly there may be a feeling of the world spinning, numbness, or muscle pains.[12] Symptoms generally resolve after a short period of time.[12]

There is tentative evidence that discontinuation of antipsychotics can result in psychosis.[13] It may also result in reoccurrence of the condition that is being treated.[14] Rarely tardive dyskinesia can occur when the medication is stopped.[12]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Pharmacodynamics

[edit]
See also: Antipsychotic § Pharmacodynamics, and Antipsychotic § Comparison of medications

Fluphenazine acts primarily by blocking post-synaptic dopaminergic D2 receptors in the basal ganglia, cortical and limbic system. It also blocks α1 adrenergic receptors, muscarinic M1 receptors, and histaminergic H1 receptors.[15][16]
