Used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, this compound helps manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It is also prescribed for severe nausea and vomiting in certain clinical settings. Additionally, it may be used to control anxiety and agitation in adults when other treatments are not effective. Its antipsychotic action makes it useful in managing behavioral issues in patients with dementia, though with caution due to increased risk in elderly populations.
