Pharmacology

Acetophenzine is a phenothiazine antipsychotic intended for the management of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

Mechanism of Action

Acetophenazine blocks postsynaptic mesolimbic dopaminergic D1 and D2 receptors in the brain; depresses the release of hypothalamic and hypophyseal hormones and is believed to depress the reticular activating system thus affecting basal metabolism, body temperature, wakefulness, vasomotor tone, and emesis.
