Molindone is an antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia. It is a dopamine antagonist, meaning it works by blocking the action of dopamine in the brain. It is usually prescribed as an adjunct to other antipsychotic medications, such as haloperidol or risperidone. It is also used to treat other mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder and depression. Molindone is available in both oral and injectable forms. Molindone is a relatively new drug, having been approved by the FDA in the United States in 1994. It is not as widely used as other antipsychotics, but it has been found to be effective in treating certain types of schizophrenia. It is also generally well-tolerated, with fewer side effects than other antipsychotics. The Molindone market is composed of a variety of pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Novartis, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Other companies, such as Mylan and Sun Pharmaceuticals, also produce generic versions of the drug. Show Less Read more
