Product Information

• Name: Molindone hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Molindone is a neuroleptic agent that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of schizophrenia. It also has antipsychotic properties and may treat other mental disorders. Molindone is a potent dopamine antagonist, which is thought to explain its therapeutic effects in these conditions. The drug is well absorbed orally and crosses the blood-brain barrier easily, making it suitable for oral administration. Molindone has been shown to have toxic effects in animal studies, including a decrease in serum prolactin levels, an increase in liver weights, and an increase in the number of animals that died during toxicity studies. These side-effect profiles are similar to those seen with haloperidol (a phenothiazine antipsychotic), which suggests that molindone may be used as an alternative to haloperidol when treating psychosis or other mental disorders.
