About Gencate Depot Injection 25mg (Fluphenazine Decanoate)
Gencate Depot Injection 25mg contains Fluphenazine Decanoate, a long-acting injectable (LAI) typical antipsychotic belonging to the phenothiazine class. It is prescribed for the maintenance treatment of chronic schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders in patients who require long-acting injectable therapy. Fluphenazine Decanoate is slowly released after deep intramuscular (IM) injection, providing sustained antipsychotic effect for 2–4 weeks per dose. This makes it particularly valuable for patients with poor oral medication adherence. Must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional only — not for self-administration. Important risks: extrapyramidal side effects (EPS), tardive dyskinesia (risk increases with long-term use), and rare but serious neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Prescription required.
Key Benefits
- Long-acting injectable for chronic schizophrenia — each injection lasts 2–4 weeks
- Significantly improves medication adherence in patients with compliance difficulties
- Controls positive symptoms: hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking
- Reduces relapse frequency and improves quality of life in stable patients
- Administered under medical supervision — prescription verified at Derma.pk
How to Use
Gencate Depot Injection must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional via deep intramuscular injection only — never self-administer. The injection is given every 2–4 weeks as determined by your doctor. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor for EPS, tardive dyskinesia, and other side effects. Avoid alcohol and CNS depressants. Prescription required.
