Effects - How it works in the body
Stelazine belongs to the family of drugs known as a phenothiazine antipsychotic drug which is also known as Antineuralgia adjunct group of medicines and commonly used for the treatment of those people who suffered to the problems of schizophrenia and anxiety (short term use). Stelazine works by blocking a variety of receptors in the brain, as dopamine receptors. Stelazine is sometimes described as a 'major tranquilliser'. Dopamine is involved in transmitting signals between brain cells. When there is an excess amount of dopamine in the brain it causes over-stimulation of dopamine receptors. These receptors normally act to modify behaviour and over-stimulation may result in psychotic illness. Stelazine blocks these receptors and stops them becoming over-stimulated, thereby helping to control psychotic illness. Stelazine is primarily used in the control of psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia, though; it also affects receptors in an area of the brain that controls nausea and vomiting.
