Adult: For the management of manifestations of psychotic disorders: As fluphenazine hydrochloride: Usual initial dose: 1.25 mg via inj as a single dose. Alternatively, initial dose range of 2.5-10 mg daily given in divided doses at 6- to 8-hour intervals may be needed depending on the severity and duration of symptoms. Once symptoms are controlled, may transfer to oral maintenance therapy. Dosage must be adjusted according to patient response and tolerance; use the lowest possible effective dose.
Oral Psychoses
Adult: For the management of manifestations of psychotic disorders: As fluphenazine hydrochloride: Usual initial dose: 2.5-10 mg daily given in divided doses at 6- to 8-hour intervals depending on severity and duration of symptoms. Usual maintenance dose: 1-5 mg daily, may be given as single daily dose. Dosage must be adjusted according to patient response and tolerance; use the lowest possible effective dose. Elderly: As fluphenazine hydrochloride: Initially, 1-2.5 mg daily, adjusted according to patient response and tolerance.
Parenteral Psychoses, Schizophrenia

Usual maintenance dose: 12.5-100 mg at intervals of 2 weeks to 5 or 6 weeks. If doses >50 mg are necessary, increase dose cautiously in 12.5 mg increments. Max: 100 mg/dose. Dosage must be adjusted according to patient response and tolerance; use the lowest possible effective dose. Elderly: As fluphenazine decanoate: Initially, 6.25 mg via IM inj, may be adjusted according to patient response and tolerance. Reduced maintenance dose may be necessary.

Monitor mental status; vital signs and CBC as clinically indicated; weight, height, BMI, waist circumference at baseline, every visit for the 1st 6 months then quarterly; electrolytes, renal and liver function annually then as clinically indicated; fasting plasma glucose level or HbA1c at baseline then annually; lipid panel at baseline then as clinically indicated; ECG prior to treatment in patient at risk for CV disease. Monitor for anticholinergic and extrapyramidal symptoms; visual changes; signs of hypotension (IM). Perform ocular examination annually (in patients >40 years) or every 2 years (in younger patients).
Quá liều
Symptoms: Severe extrapyramidal symptoms, hypotension, and difficulty breathing. Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. For severe hypotension, institute procedures to manage circulatory shock, including administration of IV fluids and vasoconstrictors (e.g. norepinephrine).

May increase risk of QT interval prolongation with class IA (e.g. quinidine, disopyramide, procainamide) and class III (e.g. amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmics; certain tetracyclic antidepressants (e.g. maprotiline), other antipsychotics (e.g. phenothiazines, pimozide), lithium, quinine, pentamidine, sparfloxacin, terfenadine. May potentiate CNS depressant effects of opioids, antihistamines, barbiturates, sedatives, hypnotics, or analgesics. Antagonise the effects of sympathomimetic agents (e.g. epinephrine) and adrenergic-blocking agents (e.g. guanethidine, clonidine). May impair the effects of anti-parkinsonian agents (e.g. levodopa) and anticonvulsant agents. May decrease the metabolism of TCAs. May increase the effect of anticoagulants. May enhance the adverse effects of anticholinergic agents. May enhance the absorption of corticosteroids, digoxin, neuromuscular blocking agents.
