Clopixol (Zuclopenthixol) is an antipsychotic medication used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychotic disorders. It is the cis-isomer of zuclopenthixol, which is another antipsychotic medication. It belongs to a class of antipsychotic medications known as thioxanthenes. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps to reduce the severity of psychotic symptoms.

Clopixol is structurally similar to other antipsychotic medications, such as haloperidol and chlorpromazine, but is believed to have a lower risk of causing movement disorders, such as tardive dyskinesia.

Clopixol tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on your medical condition and response to the medication. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, and it can be taken with or without food.

The recommended dosage of Clopixol tablet varies depending on the patient’s condition and needs and must be adjusted individually by a doctor. Daily doses of Clopixol tablets range from 4 mg to 150 mg, with the usual dose of 10 to 50 mg per day.

Take the tablet regularly and do not stop taking it without first consulting your doctor, even if you feel well. Suddenly stopping medication can cause withdrawal symptoms.
