Uses of Clopixol 100mg/2ml Injection

Clopixol 100mg/2ml Injection is used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses. It comes as tablets and as injections: a shorter-acting injection may be used in hospital to settle a severe episode of psychosis or mania, while the long-acting depot injection is used for maintenance treatment to help prevent relapse in people who are already stable.

How Clopixol 100mg/2ml Injection works

Zuclopenthixol blocks dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in the brain, reducing the overactive dopamine signalling thought to drive hallucinations, delusions and agitation. It also has a calming, sedating effect, which can help when a person is very distressed or disturbed.
