Fluphenazine decanoate is marketed under which brand name?

• A. Modecate
• B. Prolixin
• C. Haldol LA
• D. Fluanxol

Answer: (A)

Depot forms of antipsychotics are long-acting and released slowly to maintain stable levels between injections. Fluphenazine decanoate is marketed under the brand Modecate in many regions, making it the recognized name for this specific long-acting formulation of fluphenazine. Other names refer to different drugs or formulations (for example, Prolixin is another brand for fluphenazine in general, Haldol LA is haloperidol decanoate, and Fluanxol is a brand used for fluphenazine in some markets but not the decanoate depot in this context).
