Uses of Flucate Injection 25mg

Flucate Injection 25mg is used for the long-term treatment of schizophrenia and similar psychotic illnesses. It is most often given as a long-acting depot injection into a muscle, which releases the medicine slowly over several weeks. This helps people who find it hard to take tablets regularly to stay well and lowers the chance of relapse.

How Flucate Injection 25mg works

Fluphenazine blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the brain. Reducing excess dopamine activity eases symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions and disordered thinking. In the depot form the medicine is dissolved in oil, so it is absorbed gradually from the injection site and gives a steady effect between injections.

Possible side effects

Side effects with Flucate Injection 25mg vary from person to person. Those seen more often include:

• Muscle stiffness or tremor
• Restlessness or an urge to keep moving
• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Blurred vision
• Pain or swelling at the injection site

Get emergency help for a high fever with rigid muscles, sweating and confusion, painful spasms of the neck or eyes, uncontrolled movements of the face or tongue, or a fast irregular heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

• Keep all your injection appointments, as missed doses can lead to a return of symptoms.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart rhythm problems, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, liver disease, depression or a history of blood disorders.
• Avoid alcohol, and do not drive or use machinery if you feel drowsy or your vision is blurred.
• Do not stop treatment without speaking to your psychiatrist, as stopping can cause symptoms to come back.
• Discuss pregnancy plans with your doctor, as antipsychotics used late in pregnancy can affect the newborn baby.
