How it works
Flupenthixol acts by blocking the dopamine (a neurotransmitter) receptors in the brain cells. Excess amount of dopamine receptors normally act to modify behavior and over-stimulation resulting in psychotic illness. Flupenthixol blocks these receptors to control psychotic illness. Thus it is neuroleptic with anxiolytic and antidepressant properties.
