Haloperidol (Haloperidol) is an antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. It reduces symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking by affecting dopamine levels in the brain. This medication is usually taken as an oral tablet or injection. In Hong Kong, doctors may prescribe Haloperidol to control severe psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions. But please note that Haloperidol may cause some side effects, including drowsiness, muscle stiffness, and movement disorders. You should follow your doctor's advice when using this medication and pay close attention to any adverse reactions. Do not change your dose or stop using Haloperidol unless directed by your doctor. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your doctor immediately.
Directions for use: HALOPERIDOL is an antipsychotic drug and should be used as directed by your physician. It is usually taken in divided doses each day, with or without food. You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking it, and be careful not to engage in activities that require concentration, such as driving or operating machinery.
Dosing Guidelines: For adults, the usual starting dose of HALOPERIDOL is 1 to 2 mg daily in divided doses. Depending on the severity of the condition and individual tolerance, the dose may be gradually increased but should not exceed 15 mg daily. For children, dosage should be adjusted based on age, weight, and severity of symptoms and should be used under physician supervision. Do not adjust the dosage yourself and consult a medical professional if you have any questions.
Haloperidol is an antipsychotic drug with common side effects including drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, muscle stiffness and tremors. Some patients may experience problems such as movement disorders, blurred vision, rapid heartbeat, and weight gain or loss. Long-term use may cause movement disorders such as extrapyramidal symptoms. Sometimes it can cause sexual dysfunction such as impotence or irregular menstruation. If you experience serious side effects, such as muscle stiffness, high fever, fast or irregular heartbeat, seek medical advice immediately. Doctors should regularly monitor the patient's condition after using the drug to adjust the dosage or medication.

Pregnant women should use halofuri, an antipsychotic drug, with caution. During pregnancy, especially in the early and late stages of pregnancy, the use of halobulin may cause adverse effects on the fetus. Research shows that the use of halobulin may increase a baby's risk of low blood pressure, delayed growth, and other problems at birth. Therefore, if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should talk to your doctor before using Halofuri. Your doctor will evaluate the pros and cons and develop a treatment plan that is best for you.
Although halobulin may be necessary to treat some conditions, it should be used with caution during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, tell your doctor so they can help you make the best treatment decision. Remember, the health of you and your baby is the most important. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of halobulin, be sure to discuss them with your doctor in detail.
