Flupenthixol is an antipsychotic medication that is licenced for the treatment of Schizophrenia. It is also effective for the acute treatment of mania and mixed episodes of Bipolar I Disorder. Its use for maintenance treatment of Bipolar I Disorder is controversial. Flupenthixol sometimes causes parkinsonian-like side-effects, but there is no evidence that it increases the risk of diabetes mellitus.
