Summary
As with many first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs), fluphenazine has no unique therapeutic benefit compared to other D2 antagonists, but does have multiple formulations including a long-acting injectable (LAI), and an extensive database of plasma level information [1–2, 5–12]. The cytochrome P450 pathways and effects of inhibitors and inducers are less well studied than for other FGAs, and there are fewer studies on oral dose–concentration relationships which account for confounding issues such as smoking [3].
