Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
If your doctor has prescribed Fluphenazine, it is usually used to treat symptoms of psychosis like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder.
Fluphenazine works by increasing dopamine levels in certain parts of the brain. Low levels of dopamine in parts of the brain likely cause psychotic symptoms.
The starting dosage is 2.5 mg by mouth once daily. The usual dosage is 2.5-10 mg daily, but some people may need up to 40 mg daily to see control of symptoms.
The active ingredient is Fluphenazine.
Common drug-drug interactions include:
Fluphenazine can increase the risk of severe side effects like central nervous system (CNS) depression, falls, extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), hyperprolactinemia, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).
Tell your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver problems before starting this drug.
