Used primarily as an antipsychotic agent, this compound is effective in managing symptoms of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It helps reduce hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Also utilized in the treatment of anxiety and agitation, particularly in elderly patients or those with severe mental health conditions. Its sedative properties make it suitable for short-term control of intense anxiety or restlessness. Occasionally prescribed off-label for insomnia or as a preoperative calming agent due to its strong tranquilizing effect.
