Fluphenazine has not been shown effective in the management of behaviorial complications in patients with mental retardation. Mechanism of action: Fluphenazine blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors in the brain; depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones and is believed to depress the reticular activating system thus affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis. Drug type: Approved. Small Molecule. Drug category: Antipsychotic Agents. Antipsychotics. Dopamine Antagonists. Phenothiazines |
