What it is used for
Flupentixol and melitracen is used for mild to moderate anxiety and depression, especially when the two occur together. Doctors also use it when stress, worry or low mood show up as physical complaints, such as headaches, tiredness or stomach discomfort, with no other cause found. Your doctor will review regularly whether you still need it.
How it works
Flupentixol, present here in a small amount, acts on dopamine signals in the brain and can ease anxiety and lift mood. Melitracen is a tricyclic antidepressant that increases the brain chemicals noradrenaline and serotonin, which help regulate mood.
