FLUPHENAZINE INJECTION

Fluphenazine Injection is a medication under the branding of Psyconate. Schizophrenia is treated with this medication. Schizophrenia affects a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Delusion, hallucinations, abnormal behaviour, and mood swings are some critical signs of schizophrenia. This drug functions like a standard antipsychotic by preventing the activity of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is a root cause of schizophrenia.

A neurotransmitter facilitates end-to-end communication in the brain by acting as a chemical messenger between the body’s nerve cells. This cell-to-cell communication is hampered by several mental health problems, which alters how the body behaves. Fluphenazine alters neurotransmitter functioning and elevates the body’s low mood.
