1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT

2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION 
flupentixol decanoate 20mg/ml 

3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM

20mg/ml: Clear, colourless to slightly yellowish oil, practically
free from particles. 

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 

4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS 
Maintenance treatment of schizophrenia and other psychoses,
especially with symptoms such as 
hallucinations, delusions and thought disturbances along with apathy,
lack of energy, and 
withdrawal. 

4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION 

Posology 
Adults: 
Dosage and interval between injections should be adjusted for each
individual patient so as to 
achieve a maximum suppression of psychotic symptoms with a minimum
of side effects. 

Flupentixol decanoate 20mg/ml 
In the maintenance treatment the dosage range would normally be
20-40mg (1-2ml) at intervals 
of 2 to 4 weeks depending on the response. Some patients may need
larger doses or need them at 
shorter intervals. 

Flupentixol decanoate 20mg/ml is unsuitable for patients in
whom sedation is required. Injection 
volumes larger than 2ml should be distributed between two injection
sites. 

If volumes larger than 2-3ml of the 20mg/ml solution are required the
more concentrated 
solution (flupentixol decanotae 100mg/ml or 200mg/ml) should be
preferred. 

During an exacerbation or acute relapse of the illness single
injections of as much as 400mg 
fortnightly (or in the occasional cases weekly for a short period) may
be required. 

Adequate control of severe psychotic symptoms by the concentrated
injection fluids is usually 
achieved within 4 to 6 months and may justify gradual return to lower
dose maintenance

treatment with flupentixol
