Clopixol Tablets contain the active substance zuclopenthixol and
belong
to a group of medicines known as antipsychotics (also called
neuroleptics).
These medicines act on nerve pathways in specific areas of the brain
and
help to correct certain chemical imbalances in the brain that are
causing
the symptoms of your illness.
Clopixol Tablets are used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other
psychoses.
Your doctor, however, may prescribe Clopixol Tablets for another
purpose.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Clopixol Tablets
