Used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, this compound helps manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It works by altering the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly dopamine. It may also be prescribed for short-term relief of severe anxiety or agitation in certain clinical settings. Due to its sedative properties, it can assist in calming agitated patients. However, long-term use may lead to movement disorders, so it is typically used under close medical supervision.
