Zuclopenthixol is a typical antipsychotic drug of the thioxanthene class, primarily used for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It is available in several formulations, including oral and long-acting intramuscular preparations. The drug remains in clinical use for managing agitation, aggression, and psychosis, especially where adherence is a concern.
