Information About Trifluoperazine

Trifluoperazine is a typical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, and severe anxiety states in Singapore. Available as a 1mg–5mg oral tablet taken twice daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Its potent dopamine D2 blockade produces significant extrapyramidal side effects including dystonia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia with long-term use — the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration minimises these serious neurological adverse effects.
