[The succinate salt form of loxapine, a tricyclic dibenzoxazepine antipsychotic agent with antiemetic, sedative, anticholinergic, and antiadrenergic actions. Loxapine succinate exerts its actions by blocking the dopamine receptors at postsynaptic receptor sites in the limbic system, cortical system and basal ganglia, thereby reducing the hallucinations and delusions that are associated with schizophrenia. This agent also exerts extrapyramidal side effects. ( NCI )]
