Perphenazine enanthate

Perphenazine enanthate, sold under the brand name Trilafon Enantat among others, is a typical antipsychotic and a depot antipsychotic ester which is used in the treatment of schizophrenia and has been marketed in Europe.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]} It is formulated in sesame oil and administered by intramuscular injection and acts as a long-lasting prodrug of perphenazine.^{[2][3][4][5][6]} Perphenazine enanthate is used at a dose of 25 to 200 mg once every 2 weeks by injection, with a time to peak levels of 2 to 3 days and an elimination half-life of 4 to 7 days.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}
