Fluanisone
Fluanisone is a typical antipsychotic and sedative of the butyrophenone chemical class. It is used in the treatment of schizophrenia and is also used in combination with fentanyl in the induction of anesthesia.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Fluanisone acts as a potent dopamine antagonist. It is used in the treatment of psychotic disorders including schizophrenia, and is particularly effective in treating the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusions. It also has sedative properties, and is used in the induction of anesthesia in combination with fentanyl.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
The side effects of fluanisone include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. It can also cause extrapyramidal symptoms, which are movement disorders that can include tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. In rare cases, it can cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by fever, altered mental status, muscle rigidity, and autonomic dysfunction.
