Zuclopenthixol acetate prescribing in primary care by all Sub-ICB Locations
Why it matters: The BNF has a safety warning advising that zuclopenthixol acetate should only be used in hospitals as it is a relatively short-acting antipsychotic. Sometimes it may be confused with zuclopnethixol decanoate, a long-acting antipsychotic which is more commonly prescribed in primary care supporting long term maintenance.
