Loxapine

Common card · No. 422331

Loxapine, sold under the brand names Loxitane and Adasuve (inhalation only) among others, is a tricyclic antipsychotic medication used primarily in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is a member of the dibenzoxazepine class and structurally very similar to clozapine. Several researchers have argued that loxapine, initially classified as a typical antipsychotic, behaves as an atypical antipsychotic. Loxapine may be metabolized by N-demethylation to amoxapine, a tricyclic antidepressant.
