Uses of Estezene Tablets 5mg

Estezene Tablets 5mg is used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses, helping to reduce symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions and muddled thinking. At low strength it is sometimes used for a short period to control severe anxiety or agitation that has not responded to other treatment, and occasionally for severe nausea and vomiting.

How Estezene Tablets 5mg works

Trifluoperazine blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the brain, calming the overactive dopamine signalling linked to psychotic symptoms. The same action in the brain’s vomiting centre explains its anti-sickness effect. Dopamine blockade in the movement areas of the brain is also why it can cause stiffness or tremor.
