Droperidol is an antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. It reduces symptoms by affecting dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, and muscle stiffness. In Hong Kong, droperidol is usually administered orally or intramuscularly. Patients should follow their doctor's advice and have regular follow-up visits to monitor treatment effects and adverse reactions. Do not stop droperidol suddenly to avoid withdrawal syndrome. Drinking alcohol and driving motor vehicles should be avoided during use. If serious adverse reactions or allergic reactions occur (such as difficulty breathing, rash, etc.), seek medical attention immediately. Ask your doctor for more information about droperidol.

When using haloperidine during pregnancy, patients should strictly follow their doctor's recommendations. To ensure the health of mother and fetus, patients should avoid using haloperidine during pregnancy. Although this drug may cause potential harm to the fetus, in some cases, the doctor may decide that the use of haloperidine is more important for the mother's health.
If you find out you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. Your doctor may recommend that you stop using haloperidine or adjust your medication dosage. In addition, patients should receive regular supervision and follow-up from doctors during pregnancy to ensure the health of you and your fetus.
Overall, caution should be used when using haloperidine, especially during pregnancy. Please feel free to discuss any planned pre- and post-pregnancy medication use with your doctor to ensure that both you and your baby stay healthy.
