Used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders, it helps manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It is also prescribed for the treatment of depression, especially when associated with anxiety or agitation. In some cases, it is used to relieve chronic pain, particularly in conditions like fibromyalgia or functional gastrointestinal disorders due to its modulating effect on dopamine receptors. Additionally, it may be used off-label to increase prolactin levels and stimulate lactation in nursing mothers. Its action on upper gastrointestinal motility makes it helpful in managing symptoms of dyspepsia and gastroparesis.
