The brand of flupentixol called Depixol® is given to relieve the symptoms of schizophrenia and other similar mental health problems which affect the way you think, feel or behave. These problems are called psychoses. You may hear, see or sense things that are not there, or believe things that are not true, or feel unusually suspicious. Although the exact cause of psychoses is not known, it is thought to be associated with an altered balance of certain chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain. Flupentixol works by changing the balance of these chemicals. Taking flupentixol tablets will help relieve some of your symptoms, and will also help to prevent recurring episodes.
