Flupenthixol belongs to the family of medications known as thioxanthenes. This medication is used in the treatment of schizophrenia. It is thought to work by affecting nerve pathways in certain areas of the brain to help correct certain chemical imbalances that cause the symptoms of schizophrenia.
I do not see any reason in your case with the history you gave.

Hello,
I can understand the problem you are facing. Schizophrenia have family loading. You have to understand what she is doing is because of the illness. She has no touch with the reality and once she will improve these symptoms will go away. Medications are not magic pills and it usually take some time to control symptoms. Being patient here for few days is the key. Fluanxol is a long acting injections. This injection will take care of her symptoms even when she don't take her medication. ...more

Need psychiatrist help. My wife aged 40 years is under constant psychiatrist treatment since 1999. She was initially treated with syp risperidone, then by ziprasidone. After about four to five years the disease relapsed and then managed with inj fluanxol depot + qutipin. Then again in 2012 the disease got aggravated and after about one year of suffering she was finally treated with tab asenapine 10 mg and tab nexito 10 mg and tab clo 0.5 mg. The medicine is continue since then and my wife is almost asymptomatic. I am now not available with my wife due to my defence background and my wife is at a totally new place gandhinagar. The treating doctor is at patna. The problem now I am facing is that tab asenapine sold by only company sun pharma is not available in the market. The treating doctor does not attend telephonic queries and my wife is not in a state to visit the psychiatrist for next four to five months. Is the medicine available in india with any other brand or can any one suggest any other substitute for the same.

I would suggest checking online for alternative brands before shifting her to another medicine - because she has been doing well on asenapine. Any change of medicine (not brand), is likely to cause some disturbance and hence should be your second option. Asenapt is the only brand I could find - do not order for alkepin - it is not asenapine.
If you are not able to find alternatives brand, I could help you further with alternative medicine.

Hello, franxit contains two drugs:-flupenthixol 0.5mg and melitracin 10mg.
Flupenthixol is available under the brand name of fluanxol/spenzo (0.5mg)
though melitracin is not available per se, but it belongs to the class of tricyclic antidepressants. Other medicines of this class like amitryptilline or imipramine are available.

Yes there are chances.
My suggestion is to avoid hormonal contraception. They are very harmful.
Use condoms.
