Pharmacology
Flupentixol + Melitracen combines two well known and well proven compounds. Flupentixol is a neuroleptic that has anxiolytic and antidepressant properties of its own when given in small doses. Melitracen is a bipolar thymoleptic with activating properties in low doses. Together they give a preparation with antidepressant, anxiolytic and activating properties.
After oral administration, the maximal serum concentration is reached in about 4 hours for flupentixol and in about 4 hours for melitracen. The biological half-life of flupentixol is about 35 hours, and that of melitracen is about 19 hours. Taking the two together does not seem to change the pharmacokinetic properties of either compound.
