Fluphenazine decanoate (prolixin decanoate) -fluphenazine decanoate is a long-acting antipsychotic agent given by injection. because it has a 4-week duration of action, its commonly prescribed for outpatients with a history of medication noncompliance. chlorpromazine, also an antipsychotic agent, must be administered daily to maintain adequate plasma levels, which necessitates compliance with the dosage schedule. imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, and lithium carbonate, a mood stabilizer, are rarely used to treat clients with chronic schizophrenia.
