Loxapine, sold under the brand names Loxitane among others, is a typical antipsychotic used to treat psychosis including schizophrenia and for agitation. Benefit in people with intellectual disability is unclear. It is taken by mouth or inhaled.

Common side effects include movement disorders, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurry vision, low blood pressure with standing, and fast heart rate. Other side effects may include milk production, seizures, sunburns, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and increased risk of death in those with dementia.
