Hi Tammy,

According to the prescribing label for this medication,
"Prolixin Decanoate (Fluphenazine Decanoate Injection) may be given intramuscularly or subcutaneously. A dry syringe and needle of at least 21 gauge should be used. Use of a wet needle or syringe may cause the solution to become cloudy."

My reference for this information is linked below:

NOTE: I would recommend reviewing the entire article in the link if this is your first time using this medication.

I hope this info helps!
