Product description written by Dr. Ami Patel, PharmD (July 10, 2020)
What is Prolixin (Fluphenazine)?
Prolixin (generic name Fluphenazine) is a medicine used to treat schizophrenia or psychotic disorders. Fluphenazine adjusts the amount of a chemical in your brain, called dopamine. By balancing the amount of dopamine in your brain, fluphenazine can organize your thoughts. Fluphenazine can also help if you imagine voices or see images that are not real. Sometimes people with schizophrenia believe things that are not true. Fluphenazine may help you think more clearly.
Conditions treated by Prolixin?
Prolixin (also known as fluphenazine) is used to treat and prevent psychotic disorders. Several medical conditions may cause psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia. A psychotic disorder happens when you have unusual feelings or thoughts. You may lose touch with reality. You might see, hear, or feel things that are not there. You may believe things that are not real, such as imagining that people are plotting against you.
What are the side effects of Fluphenazine?
Fluphenazine should not be used in older people who have lost touch with reality and also have trouble with memory loss and confusion. A serious side effect of Prolixin or fluphenazine includes the possibility of sudden, unexplained death in elderly people who have dementia-related psychosis. Do not use fluphenazine if you are elderly and have a history of seizures or brain damage.
Possible fluphenazine side effects include:
Having a stiff or painful neck, trouble swallowing or breathing (this occurs more commonly in young men who are using Prolixin or fluphenazine)
Unusual movements of your tongue, mouth, or lips
Feeling restless, like you need to move around
Trouble moving, feeling stiff, having slow movements or tremors

High body temperature (fever)
Muscle stiffness
Feeling confused

Changes in your heart rate

Body movements you cannot control (this is called tardive dyskinesia ). You may notice twitching in your face, tongue, or other parts of your body. Some people start lip smacking or have uncontrolled chewing movements. These may linger after you stop Prolixin or fluphenazine.
Feeling sleepy or drowsy. Alcohol can make this worse, so avoid drinking alcohol (including beer, wine, and spirits) while on fluphenazine. Fluphenazine and alcohol do not mix.
