A member asked:
Is fluphenazine injection better that oral fluphenazine ? which one if either have lower risk to develop tardive dyskensia? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well ...: That's a very good question ... Essentially, fluphenazine decanoate (injection) is the long acting version of the tablets. Generally I will convert patients to the injection if they have problems remembering to take medication. In terms of side effects, a lot depends on your individual response to the medicine. Hope that helps!
