Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

All antipsychotics have potent dopamine D2 receptor blocking actions. They have an excellent capacity to bind to D2 receptors in our nervous system. It acts on specific pathways of nerves and helps treat symptoms by correcting specific chemical imbalances in our central nervous system. Flupenthixol is a mood elevator medication along with anxiolytic and antidepressants as well. Thus Spenzo tablets work by blocking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter(a chemical in the brain) known to affect the behaviour and mood of a person. They also have cholinergic, noradrenergic, and histaminergic blocking action. Thioxanthene, a first-generation antipsychotic, helps treat positive symptoms of schizophrenia such as delusions and hallucinations. They also decrease the risk of frequent episodes of psychosis.
