**ALDOL** is a medication containing haloperidol, a potent antipsychotic drug from the butyrophenone class, primarily used to treat various psychiatric disorders. It is commonly prescribed for managing symptoms of schizophrenia, acute psychosis, and Tourette’s syndrome. Haloperidol works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps reduce symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and agitation. ALDOL is available in oral and injectable forms, making it versatile for both acute and long-term treatment. Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, and muscle stiffness, while more serious risks include tardive dyskinesia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to manage potential side effects and ensure the medication’s effectiveness. ALDOL should be used under strict medical supervision, especially in patients with underlying health conditions.

Effective in managing symptoms of schizophrenia: It helps reduce hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders.
Controls severe agitation and aggression: Useful in acute psychiatric emergencies to calm the patient.
Long history of use: It has been extensively studied and used for decades, making its effects well-documented.

Working Mechanism

Haldol works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, particularly D2 receptors. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, motivation, and the reward system. By blocking its receptors, Haldol helps manage symptoms of psychosis, such as hallucinations and delusions.

Adults: The typical oral dose for schizophrenia starts at 0.5 mg to 5 mg, taken 2 to 3 times a day. In more severe cases, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 30 mg per day.
Injection: In emergency situations, Haldol can be administered via injection (IM or IV).
Children and elderly: Lower doses are generally recommended due to increased sensitivity to side effects.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Haldol should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits justify the risks to the fetus. It can pass into breast milk, so caution is advised for nursing mothers.
Liver and kidney function: Patients with liver or kidney problems should use Haldol cautiously.
Elderly patients with dementia: Haldol is not recommended due to an increased risk of stroke and death.
Monitor for movement disorders: Long-term use can lead to tardive dyskinesia, a potentially irreversible condition characterized by involuntary movements.

Common side effects: Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, weight gain, and muscle stiffness.
Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS): These include tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and acute dystonia.
Tardive dyskinesia: Involuntary movements, especially with long-term use.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): A rare but life-threatening condition characterized by high fever, muscle rigidity, and altered mental status.
Cardiovascular effects: QT prolongation, which can lead to serious heart arrhythmias.

Black Box Warning: Haldol carries a black box warning for use in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis due to an increased risk of death.
Avoid abrupt discontinuation: Suddenly stopping Haldol can lead to withdrawal symptoms, so it should be tapered off under medical supervision.
Drug interactions: Haldol can interact with other medications, including certain antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and other antipsychotics.

Q: How long does it take for Haldol to work?

A: Haldol can start working within a few hours to calm agitation and reduce symptoms, but it may take several days to weeks for full therapeutic effects.

Q: Can Haldol be used for anxiety?

A: Haldol is not typically used for anxiety. It’s primarily prescribed for schizophrenia, acute psychosis, and severe behavioral disorders.

Q: Is Haldol addictive?

A: Haldol is not considered addictive, but it can lead to physical dependence, and discontinuation should be managed carefully.

Q: Can I drink alcohol while taking Haldol?

A: Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase the sedative effects of Haldol and worsen side effects.

Q: Can Haldol be used in children?

A: Haldol can be used in children for specific conditions, but the dosage is typically lower, and close monitoring is required.
